Canadian Industry Statistics (CIS)
Manufacturing Production
Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33)
Under this topic you will find information on revenue and value-added
generated in the Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33) sector in
Canada. This information can help you to assess the health of the subsector,
the intensity of the manufacturing process at this level, and can help you to
determine your share of the market.
Initially we examine production in Canada as measured by the total value of
manufacturing revenues of the industry, which is the value of goods produced by
its establishments, including custom and repair work, as well as goods made
under contract. They are valued in current Canadian dollars.
Value of Production: 2001-2010
Manufacturing Revenues and Manufacturing Value-Added
Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33)
Manufacturing revenues for this sector decreased from
$543.8 billion in 2001 to $526.2 billion in 2010, or
at an average compound annual rate of 0.4% per year. Between 2009
and 2010, manufacturing revenues increased by 6.8%.
In comparison, manufacturing revenues for the sector

@TOPS14mshp_sg_fyr@ @TOPF4mshp_sg_fyr@% in the most recent year.
Manufacturing value-added for the sector decreased from
$214.6 billion in 2001 to $187.2 billion in 2010, or
at an average annual rate of 1.5%. Between 2009 and 2010,
value-added increased by 4.7%.

Changes in domestic production within a particular sector will depend
on a variety of factors such as evolving international export markets, trends
in consumer demand and patterns of consumption, competition with imports in the
domestic market, economic conditions which affect production (including labour
costs), profitability, and so on. Technological changes can impact an industry
segment by affecting consumer demand, the cost of production and competition
within the industry.

The manufacturing intensity ratio, calculated by dividing manufacturing
value-added by manufacturing revenues, gives a sense of how much transformation
takes place within an industry and what proportion of value is added.
For example, in industries where relatively significant capital and labour is
applied (for example : NAICS 31222 - Tobacco Product Manufacturing), the
manufacturing intensity ratio is relatively high. It is relatively low where
lower amounts of capital and labour are needed to produce the final output (for
example: NAICS 31221 - Tobacco Stemming and Redrying).
Manufacturing Intensity Ratio: 2001-2010
Comparison with Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing (NAICS 31-33)
The manufacturing intensity ratio for the Manufacturing sector
decreased from from 39.5 in 2001 to 35.6 in 2010. In 2009
the ratio was 36.3.

was @TOPF4mint_plyr@.

The data in this section come from Statistics Canada's Annual Survey of Manufactures and
Logging. Data are available for the years 2001-2010.
Due to methodological changes to the Annual Survey of Manufactures and
Logging (summarized in the Data
Sources section of this site), caution should be used when interpreting
trends in the data presented below.
The data in the Manufacturing Production section focuses on the value of
manufacturing outputs regardless of the destination of the products (wholesale
and retail markets, export markets or to serve as inputs for other industries).
It does not focus on the products themselves or the quantities produced, but on
the monetary value of the outputs.
For information on manufacturing inputs, visit the manufacturing costs and salaries and wages sections of
Canadian Industry Statistics.

The value added is a measure of net output (i.e. of gross output less those
purchased inputs - such as cost of materials and supplies and of energy, water
and vehicle fuel) which has been embodied in the value of the product. In
contrast to the measure of manufacturing revenues, value added provides some
insight into the degree of transformation which occurs within industries.
In short, manufacturing value-added consists of the value of manufacturing
revenues plus net change in the inventory of goods in process and finished
goods, less the costs of materials and supplies and of the energy, water and
vehicle fuel used.
The value-added concept is used to avoid double counting in the measurement
of output (such as the Gross Domestic Product measure) for an economy. For
instance, the value-added in the Retail Bakeries industry would not include the
value of the flour used to make a loaf of bread, it would only include the
value the Retail Bakeries industry adds by turning the flour into bread (for
example, the mixing, leavening and baking process).
