Secondary sector production in Switzerland declined by 0.6% in 4th quarter 2023

19.08.2021 - Secondary sector production rose by 14.2% in 2nd quarter 2021 in comparison with the same quarter a year earlier. Turnover rose by 15.5%. These sharp increases can largely be explained by the weak 2nd quarter of 2020, during which measures against the COVID-19 pandemic came into effect. This is shown by provisional results from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

Compared with the previous year, production in the industrial sector rose in April (+16.1%), in May (+17.4%) and in June (+13.1%). For the whole of 2nd quarter 2021 production increased by 15.7% in comparison with the same quarter a year earlier.

Construction production increased by 6.5% in 2nd quarter 2021 in comparison with the same quarter a year earlier. Production rose by 4.9% in building, civil engineering in contrast registered a decline (–2.1%). Lastly, specialised construction activities registered an increase of 8.8% in their production.

Similar comparison in construction production shows an increase of 1.2% (turnover: +2.9%).
