February 2014 compared with January 2014
Industrial production up by 0.2% in euro area
Up by 0.4% in EU28



In February 2014 compared with January, seasonally adjusted industrial production1 rose by 0.2% in the euro area2 (EA18) and by 0.4% in the EU282, according to estimates from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In January3 industrial production remained stable in the euro area and increased by 0.2% in the EU28.
In February 2014 compared with February 20134, industrial production grew by 1.7% in the euro area and by 2.1% in the EU28.






Monthly comparison by main industrial grouping and by Member State
The increase of 0.2% in industrial production in the euro area in February 2014, compared with January 2014, is due to production of intermediate goods rising by 0.6% and non-durable consumer goods by 0.5%, while capital goods remained stable and durable consumer goods fell by 1.2% and energy by 1.7%.
In the EU28, the increase of 0.4% is due to production of non-durable consumer goods rising by 0.9%, intermediate goods by 0.5% and capital goods by 0.2%, while durable consumer goods fell by 0.7% and energy by 1.4%.
The highest increases in industrial production were registered in Malta (+5.4%), Ireland (+5.0%) and Lithuania (+2.5%), and the largest decreases in Croatia (-2.8%), Estonia (-2.2%) and Romania (-1.3%).
Annual comparison by main industrial grouping and by Member State
The increase of 1.7% in industrial production in the euro area in February 2014, compared with February 2013, is due to production of intermediate goods rising by 4.2%, capital goods by 4.0% and non-durable consumer goods by 2.8%, while production of durable consumer goods fell by 0.6% and energy by 8.5%.
In the EU28, the increase of 2.1% is due to production of intermediate goods rising by 4.6%, capital goods by 4.5%, non-durable consumer goods by 2.7% and durable consumer goods by 1.5%, while production of energy fell by 7.2%.
The highest increases in industrial production were registered in Slovakia (+9.0%), Romania (+8.9%) and Hungary (+8.2%), and the largest decreases in the Netherlands (-8.9%), Finland (-5.4%) and Lithuania (-2.1%).


  1. The index of industrial production measures the evolution of the volume of production for industry excluding construction, based on data adjusted for working day and seasonal effects. Seasonally adjusted euro area and EU series are calculated by aggregating the seasonally adjusted national data. Eurostat carries out the seasonal adjustment of the data for those countries that do not adjust their data for seasonal effects. Missing observations from Member States for recent months are estimated for the calculation of the euro area and the EU.
The weights of the Member States in the EU and euro area aggregates can be found at:
See file: EU-28_EA-18_NEWS_RELEASE_WEIGHTINGS_2010
More detailed data can be found in the short-term statistics database on the Eurostat website:
  1. The euro area (EA18) includes Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.
