These statistics contain broad-ranging information on Catalan industry based on the industrial enterprise survey and the industrial products survey, which are the main sources of structural information from the industrial sectors. They are two annual surveys conducted by the INE with the collaboration of Idescat.
The enterprise statistics provide information on the number of enterprises and establishments and employment, and all the important concepts linked to enterprise accounting: turnover, sales of products and merchandise, consumption of raw materials, expenditures on outside services, expenditures on personnel, investment in material assets, etc. The information is disaggregated by sector for more than fifty activity branches. What is more, information is presented on the geographical destination of sales, the origin of purchases, as well as several indicators such as business concentration and productivity. This information may also be checked in the section entitled Industrial Survey.
The products statistic surveys sales in monetary values and physical amounts of more than 1,000 products manufactured in Catalonia, following the Product nomenclature for industrial statistics (PRODCOM). Finally, it contains the estimates of the main economic accounts for fourteen industrial groupings: value of production, intermediate consumption, gross added value and surplus.
These same statistics are contained in the book entitled Estadística, producció i comptes de la indústria published each year by Idescat.
