Methodological note

The Annual Industrial Products Survey is an annual structural survey aimed at all establishments dedicated to the industrial sector (Sections B and C of the CNAE 2009). This operation provides information on the production of a set of industrial products (approximately 4,000) that account for the entire Spanish industrial sector.

The survey targets a sample of 39,247 industrial establishments. It allows us to obtain detailed national results for the different products that make up the survey, as well as aggregated results by autonomous communities and cities and divisions of activity.

Type of Survey:
Continuous annual survey.
Population scope:
Industrial establishments, regardless of whether the main activity of the legal unit to which they belong is industrial or not.
Geographical scope:
The entire national territory.
Reference period for the results:
The calendar year.
Reference period of the information:
The calendar year. Establishments that operate by season or campaign -which include two different years- can use data referring to the campaign ending in the survey reference year.
Type of sampling:
Probability sampling.
Sample size:
39,122 industrial establishments, belonging to 30,052 companies with main activity in industry (the majority) or in another sector.
Collection method:
Via the Internet (IRIA system) and, very exceptionally, by other means (e-mail, post, etc.).
