Notes to

the main data

of industrial production above designated size in March 2026 1. Using this index, we can judge the short-term trend of industrial economy and the degree of economic prosperity. It is also an important reference and basis for formulating and adjusting economic policies and implementing macro-control.

Product sales rate: refers to the ratio of sales output value to total industrial output value, which is used to reflect the convergence of production and marketing of industrial products.

Export delivery value: refers to the value of products exported by industrial enterprises on their own account (including those sold to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) or handed over to foreign trade departments for export, as well as the value of products produced by foreign businessmen through processing with supplied materials, assembling with supplied parts and compensation trade.

Average daily product output: It is calculated by dividing the total output of industrial enterprises above designated size published in the current month by the calendar days of the month.

2.

As the scope of industrial enterprises above designated size changes every year, in order to ensure that the data of this year is comparable to that of the previous year, the figures of the same period used to calculate the year-on-year growth rate of various indicators such as product output are as consistent as possible with the statistical scope of enterprises in the current period, and there are differences in caliber with the data published in the previous year. The main reasons are: (1) Changes in the scope of statistical units. Every year, some enterprises that have reached the scale are included in the scope of the survey, and some enterprises withdraw from the scope of the survey due to their smaller scale, as well as new production enterprises, bankruptcy, and cancellation (suspension) enterprises; (2) There is a phenomenon of cross-regional duplicate statistics in the output data of some enterprise groups (companies), and the cross-regional duplicate output of enterprise groups (companies) is eliminated according to the special survey.
