According to data released by Industry Portalat the end of December 2023, the Industrial Indicators presented another month of mostly positive results. The results continued to follow the trend observed in November 2023. The report also records that despite these indicators pointing to a favorable performance in the last two months of the year, the general panorama of 2023 reveals a drop in relation to 2022 in the indexes related to industrial activity .
It is possible to verify in the publication that during the last two months of 2023, both revenue and hours worked in production registered growth, reversing a downward trend observed throughout most of the year. However, it is noted in the study that revenue accumulated in the year showed a decrease of 1.3% compared to 2022, while hours worked in production fell by 0.6%. Furthermore, the document records data on Installed Capacity Utilization (UCI), which showed an increase of 0.1 percentage point in December, although it ended the year 1.0 percentage point below that recorded in December 2022.
Part of the positive data can be observed in indicators related to the labor market which, according to the report, revealed a more optimistic scenario when comparing 2023 with 2022. It is also possible to observe that industrial employment, which remained relatively stable for most of the year , recorded an increase in November, returning to stability in December and ending the year with growth of 0.3% compared to 2022.
José Antônio Valente, director of the construction franchise Trans Obra, states that it is clear that the last two months of 2023 were marked by a significant reversal of the downward trajectory, especially with regard to revenue and hours worked in production. José Antônio continued to say that despite this positive momentum, the accumulated numbers reveal a 1.3% decrease in revenue compared to the previous year, accompanied by a 0.6% drop in hours worked in production. “These data highlight the complexity of the industrial scenario in 2023, where specific advances at the end of the year coexist with an annual reduction in global indicators.”
Still on the published study, which can be analyzed in full through the link presented at the beginning of this article, it is possible to observe that the wage bill and average income, in turn, remained at levels higher than those of 2022 during the second half of the year . The report also shows that after an increase in November, these indicators ended the year with increases of more than 2.5% compared to the previous year.
The report points out that, in summary and within the scope of the job market, the news was positive. According to the data presented, the indicators point to growth in the comparison between 2023 and 2022. Industrial employment, in particular, remained relatively stable throughout the year, experiencing an increase in November. The indices that obtained negative results, according to the study, are related to industrial activity that registered a drop in the comparison between the years of comparison.
Asked about the subject, José Antônio stated that the complexity of this scenario demands a careful analysis to understand the variables that drove these results and, thus, guide decisions and strategies for the industrial sector in 2024.
