UNIDO releases latest International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics
VIENNA, 15 February 2013 – The growth rate of
world manufacturing output remained low in 2012 due to the prolonged
recession in industrialized countries and its negative impact on
developing and emerging industrial economies, according to a UN report
released today.
World manufacturing output grew by 2.2 per cent in
2012, significantly lower than the 3.1 per cent projected midway through
last year. This and other key findings are revealed by the latest
annual figures on the level, structure and growth of world industrial
production contained in the 2013 edition of the International Yearbook
of Industrial Statistics, published by the United Nations Industrial
Development Organization (UNIDO).
The Yearbook provides internationally comparable data
for major indicators of manufacturing activity which can be used to
analyze patterns of growth and related long term trends, structural
change and industrial performance in individual industries. It is the
only international publication that offers economists, planners,
policymakers and business people worldwide statistics on current
performance and trends in the manufacturing sector.
The new publication shows that the world’s
industrialized countries experienced particularly low manufacturing
value added (MVA) growth, with some dynamism in North America and East
Asia was largely negated by the sustained recession in Europe. MVA of
industrialized countries grew at an average rate of just 0.3 per cent in
2012.
According to the Yearbook, the global economic crisis
beginning in 2009 has not only forced huge job cuts in the manufacturing
sector of industrialized countries but has also pulled labour
productivity down. Net manufacturing output in the world’s eight major
industrialized economies (G-8) has fallen by a much higher rate than the
number of employees, reflecting the fact that many businesses retain a
skeleton workforce even during periods when there are no or few orders
for their products.
Developing and emerging industrial economies in
general maintained a strong rate of MVA growth in 2012, despite some
deceleration in industrial production due to a decrease in demand for
exports. Developing and emerging industrial economies’ combined share of
world MVA in 2012 stood at 35 per cent.
In longer run, the industrialized countries’ share of
world MVA will remain high, as economic progress will mean that more
countries will be elevated into the group of industrialized economies.
The 2013 edition of the Yearbook includes revised country groups, with
Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar among new entrants to the
group of industrialized economies.
The Yearbook also highlights MVA growth trends in the
least developed countries (LDCs), which are facing different constraints
related to external trade. In comparison with African LDCs, Asian LDCs
have the advantage of closer proximity to fast-growing economies, and
this is reflected by an average MVA growth rate over the last decade of
8.7 per cent per annum for Asian LDCs compared to 5.9 per cent for
African LDCs.
The International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics
presents detailed, country-specific, business structure statistics,
which provide empirical evidence for formulating industrial policy and
carrying out comparative analysis of structural change and productivity.
UNIDO maintains an international industrial statistics database covering mining and quarrying, manufacturing and the international trade of manufactured goods.
