Sales and output Table 19.16 shows that after removal of the effects of price changes, the value of sales by private manufacturing businesses increased by 3% in 1999-2000 over 1998-99. Wood and paper product manufacturing recorded the largest increase (12%), followed by Machinery and equipment manufacturing (11%). Textile, clothing, footwear and leather manufacturing recorded the largest fall (12%), followed by Non-metallic mineral product manufacturing (10%).

Manufacturing output (sales adjusted for changes in the level of stocks) increased by 2% between 1998-99 and 1999-2000. Five of the nine manufacturing subdivisions increased their output, with the largest increases recorded for Machinery and equipment manufacturing (13%), followed by Wood and paper product manufacturing (9%). Textile, clothing, footwear and leather manufacturing recorded the largest fall (13%), followed by Non-metallic mineral product manufacturing (9%) and Metal product manufacturing (5%).
