According to the provisional results of the Annual Survey on Industrial Production (IAPI), in 2024, the total sales of products and industrial services in the Manufacturing industries (Divisions 10 to 33, 35 and 38 of CAE Rev.3) decreased by 0.9%, in nominal terms, totalling EUR 114.7 billion (-3.2% and EUR 115.7 billion in 2023).

A significant part of this variation is justified by the price stabilisation effect, given that the industrial production price index (IPPI) had no change compared to 2023 (the same in the previous year).

The major contributions to the negative evolution of the total sales of products and industrial services were identified in the activities of Electricity, gas, steam, cold and hot water and cold air (Division 35), with -0.5 pp, followed by Manufacture of wearing apparel (Division 14), with -0.3 pp, and Manufacture of food products (Division 10), also with -0.3 percentage points.

Division 10 - Manufacture of food products remained the division with the highest relative weight in the total sales of products and industrial services (14.8%), having decreased by 2.0% over 2023. It was followed by Division 29 - Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers and parts and accessories for motor vehicles (weight of 9.7%; -0.7% compared with 2023) and Division 19 - Manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and fuels briquettes (weight of 9.2%; +10.2% compared with 2023).
