Title Factory Output Growth A Slowing Pace in 2024?
As we near the end of 2024, it's evident that factory output growth has significantly slowed down. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Value of Production Index (VaPI) and Volume of Production Index (VoPI) experienced modest expansions of 0.4 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively.
In contrast, a year earlier, both indices saw higher growth rates of 3.7 percent and 3.0 percent. This slowdown in the manufacturing sector is clear. But what's behind this change?
The Factors at Play
December's VaPI rebound was primarily driven by a significant recovery in the manufacture of computer, electronic, and optical products, which saw growth of 8.6 percent after declining by 2.5 percent in November. This sector had the second-highest weight in the computation of the production indicator, contributing 35.2 percent to the trend of VaPI for the manufacturing section.
Other key contributors included the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products, which grew by 5.2 percent after an 11.7-percent decline, and the manufacture of transport equipment that expanded by a stronger 7.2 percent from 1.9 percent.
The Remaining Industry Divisions
Of the 19 remaining industry divisions, 13 posted growth while six contracted. The most significant decline was in the manufacture of basic metals, which fell by 18.2 percent.
Capacity Utilization A Mixed Bag
In terms of capacity utilization, the manufacturing sector operated at an average of 75.5 percent in December, slightly lower than 75.7 percent a month earlier but higher than the 74.6 percent recorded a year ago.
The top three were the manufacture of textiles (81.4 percent), manufacture of machinery and equipment except electrical (81.1 percent), and manufacture of other nonmetallic mineral products (80.7 percent).
What's Ahead?
As we look to 2025, it's clear that factory output growth will no longer be a dominant factor in the manufacturing sector. Instead, industry players must adapt to new realities and find innovative ways to stay competitive.
In our next installment, we'll explore what's no longer working in 2025 and provide actionable advice on how you can thrive in this changing landscape. Stay tuned!
