Statistics database

Comparable data are available for the period from the 1st quarter of 2008 to the 2nd quarter of 2025.

N/A

Data are collected from the CSB monthly statistical report form 1-r "Survey of industrial activity".

Data on turnover of industrial production are obtained with the help of enterprise survey, building a threshold sample.

The data on the output (volume) and turnover of industrial production are acquired by surveying economically active enterprises and/or kind of activity units classified under the Sections B Mining and Quarrying, C Manufacturing, and D Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (except Group 35.3 Steam and air conditioning supply) of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2) which a year before on average employed 20 or more people in industrial production.

The sample additionally includes enterprises employing fewer than 20 people, to ensure that the data compiled on Divisions of NACE Rev. 2 (data at 2-digit level) cover at least 80 % of business structural statistics turnover in 2023.

The population of enterprises surveyed during the reference year may be revised by supplementing it with new economically active enterprises (in line with the mentioned criteria), specifying economic activities of the enterprises, upon receipt of revised information from respondents, as well as when the latest data are received from administrative sources.

In 2025 every month 1488 enterprises are surveyed; in 2023, their share in total volume of industrial production constituted 80 %.

The information at current prices is collected from respondents each month (by the 25^th date) and broken down by the NACE Rev. 2 Classes.

The industrial output index data are collected from the CSB monthly statistical report form 1-r "Survey of industrial activity". Most of the data is submitted in the form of an e-report, other submission types (mail, e-mail, telephone) are less common.

Industrial production output and turnover are calculated by summing data submitted by the enterprise in accordance with NACE Rev. 2 sections, divisions, groups and classes.
