The Yearbook is designed to facilitate international comparisons relating to manufacturing activity and industrial development and performance.

Statistics on employment patterns, wages, consumption and gross output and other key indicators are also presented.

‘The International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics continues to be the only publication available which pulls together worldwide statistics on performance and trends in the manufacturing sector. This is an authoritative source on comparative international manufacturing statistics and is highly recommended for all business reference collections.’
