Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization: The 2023 Annual Revision

The Federal Reserve has revised its index of industrial production (IP) and the related measures of

capacity and capacity utilization.1 On net, revisions to total IP pushed its growth rates slightly lower in recent

years; the rates of change for total IP have revised no more than 0.6 percentage point in any year.2 Similarly, the

utilization rates for total industry are little changed from previous estimates.

This revision incorporated detailed data for manufacturing from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2021 Annual

Survey of Manufactures (ASM). The aggregate effect of those data was slightly slower growth in overall IP in

2021. The overall picture of the last three years of performance in the industrial sector, however, is unchanged.

After contracting sharply in the first half of 2020 because of the pandemic, the industrial sector rebounded later

in the year and in 2021, and then exhibited more modest growth in 2022.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, capacity utilization for total industry stood at 79.9 percent, about

1 percentage point above its previous estimate and 0.2 percentage point above its long-run (1972–2022) average.

Most of the upward revision to utilization reflects modest downward revisions to estimates of capacity. The

utilization rates for 2019 to 2021 are close to previous estimates—within 1/2 percentage point—and revisions to

earlier years are very small.

Annual capacity growth for the industrial sector is revised down by about 3/4 percentage point per year, on

average, in 2021 and 2022; earlier-year revisions are very small. Capacity for total industry at the end of 2022 is

now estimated to be nearly 1 percent lower than at the end of 2018, as opposed to about 1 percent higher prior to

the revision.

This revision incorporated newly available annual data on both output and prices. As noted earlier, the

updated IP indexes incorporated new data for manufacturing from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2021 ASM. For

publishing, the IP indexes folded in data for 2021 from the Census Bureau’s Service Annual Survey. In addition,

the indexes for metallic and nonmetallic minerals were updated with revised annual data for 2020 and with new

data for 2021 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Data on prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) were also incorporated into most of the manufacturing indexes.

The monthly estimates of production have been updated to include late-arriving or revised quarterly or

monthly indicator data, including information from the BLS’s benchmark revisions to the Current Employment

Statistics. The IP estimates also reflect updated seasonal factors.

The revised estimates of capacity and capacity utilization incorporated data from the Census Bureau’s

Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity Utilization for the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2022 along with new data on

1The revision affected rates of change for IP from 1972 forward. When necessary to maintain consistency with any revisions to the data for 1972 and subsequent years,

the levels of production for the years before 1972 were multiplied by a constant. However, the rates of change in IP for the years before 1972 were not revised. Utilization

rates and capacity growth rates were revised minimally between 1968 and 1971 but were unchanged before then.

2Rates of change are calculated as the percentage change in the seasonally adjusted index from the fourth quarter of the previous year to the fourth quarter of the year

specified.

capacity from the USGS, the Energy Information Administration, and other organizations. The revised capacity

estimates also included new data on capital spending from the 2021 ASM.

RESULTS OF THE REVISION

Industrial Production

Manufacturing output is now estimated to have been about 3 percent lower in the fourth quarter of 2020

than it was a year earlier; it moved up about 31/2 percent in 2021 and another 3/4 percent in 2022. The rates of

change for 2020 and 2021 are respectively about 1/2 percentage point and 3/4 percentage point weaker than the

estimates published previously, whereas the rate of change for 2022 is about 1/4 percentage point stronger.

Manufacturing output is now estimated to have dropped more than 19 percent between February 2020 and April

2020 because of the pandemic, about the same as was previously reported. Factory output has recovered since

then, and the index for February 2023 is currently reported to be about 3/4 percent above its pre-pandemic level,

about 1/2 percentage point less of a gain than the pre-revision estimate.

The revised contour for mining output shows a sharp drop in the first half of 2020 and a substantial

rebound later in 2020 and in 2021, followed by continued but more moderate growth in 2022. The rates of

change are broadly similar to those published previously, although the gains in 2021 and 2022 are now each

about 3/4 percentage point weaker, and the drop between the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2020 is about

1/3 percentage point smaller. The index for mining currently stands about 31/4 percent below its pre-pandemic

level; before the revision, the index was 21/3 percent below its pre-pandemic level. The rates of change for

utilities output are little changed from their previously reported values.

Production by Industry Group

The output of durables decreased sharply in the first half of 2020 before increasing later in the year and in

2021 and 2022. Relative to the previous estimates, the net decline over 2020 is modestly steeper, the gain in

2021 is more moderate, and the increase in 2022 is stronger. The cumulative downward revision to output

growth for durables from 2020 through 2022 was about 12/3 percentage points.

The index for nondurables was little changed after the revision. Among nondurable manufacturing

industries, the revisions to the rates of change were mixed, with the indexes for textiles and product mills and

paper revising downward for 2021 and the indexes for plastics and rubber products revising upward for the same

period.

The output index for industries in scope for manufacturing IP that are not part of manufacturing under the

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)—that is, logging and publishing—has been recording

declines for several years, and it continued to fall each year in the 2020–22 period. However, the declines in

2020 and 2021 are now reported to have been noticeably smaller than previously published, while the decrease in

2022 is somewhat larger.

Production by Market Group

The index for consumer goods now shows slightly less output in the 2020–22 period than previously

reported. The rate of change for business equipment revised down in 2020 and 2021, but revised up strongly in

2022. Relative to earlier reports, the index for defense and space equipment now records noticeably slower

growth over the 2020–22 period.

Revisions to the index for construction supplies were very small. The index for business supplies revised

up incrementally for 2020, 2021, and 2022 relative to earlier reports. The output of materials was little changed

2
cumulatively from previously reported values.

Capacity Utilization

Capacity utilization for total industry decreased in 2019 and 2020 before moving up in 2021 and 2022;

the reading in February 2023 was 79.1 percent, about 3/4 percentage point below its 1972–2022 average. Previous

estimates displayed a similar contour, with the main difference being that now utilization moves up modestly in

2022 rather than remaining essentially flat. The upward revision to utilization for total industry in 2022 is due

primarily to higher operating rates at mines than in previous estimates.

Utilization at manufacturers moved down about 31/4 percentage points from 2018 to 2020 before

increasing in 2021 back to its 2018 level. The factory operating rate in February 2023 was 78.3 percent,

essentially matching its long-run average. Relative to the previous estimates, the current readings for

manufacturing utilization are slightly higher over recent history. Revisions to utilization rates for 2022 were

mixed among manufacturing industries and largely offsetting. The largest upward revisions in operating rates for

2022 occurred in wood products, in nonmetallic mineral products, in printing and related support activities, and

in petroleum and coal products; the largest downward revisions in operating rates for 2022 occurred in electrical

equipment, appliances, and components; plastics and rubber products; and aerospace and miscellaneous

transportation equipment.

The capacity utilization rate for mining dropped 19 percentage points from 2018 to 2020 before

rebounding in 2021 to 87.6 percent, about 1 percentage point above its long-run average. Relative to its

previously published rate, utilization at mines for the fourth quarter of 2022 is about 21/2 percentage points

higher. The operating rate for utilities declined about 8 percentage points from 2018 to 2021 before rising

modestly in 2022 to 73.9 percent, 103/4 percentage points below its long-run average.

Capacity

Total industrial capacity fell about 3/4 percent and 2 percent in 2020 and 2021, respectively, with

decreases in manufacturing and mining partly offset by increases for utilities. In contrast, overall capacity rose

1 percentage point in 2022 and is expected to rise 11/2 percentage points in 2023. Compared with previous

estimates, overall capacity growth is now modestly weaker; in particular, the decline in 2021 is somewhat larger,

and the increase in 2022 is somewhat smaller.

Manufacturing capacity is now reported to have contracted about 3/4 percentage point per year, on

average, from 2018 to 2021, just a touch more negative than was reported earlier. The downward revisions to

manufacturing capacity growth during this period were concentrated primarily in nondurable manufacturing

industries. Manufacturing capacity expanded about 3/4 percent in 2022 and is expected to grow by 11/4 percent in

2023.

Mining capacity rose in 2018 and 2019 before falling back by an equivalent amount in 2020 and 2021;

the level of capacity in 2021 was roughly back to its 2017 value. Capacity grew about 2 percent in 2022 but is

expected to contract about 1/3 percentage point in 2023; these estimates are, on average, weaker than the previous

estimates. Capacity for electric and gas utilities rose at a pace of 21/3 percent per year, on average, from 2019 to

2022 and is expected to grow somewhat faster in 2023. Revisions to the rates of utilities capacity growth were,

on net, very small.

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE REVISION

The IP indexes represent the level of real output relative to a base year. At the monthly frequency,

movements of the indexes are based on indicators that are derived using industry-specific data from a variety of

government and private sources. The monthly production indexes are anchored to annual benchmarks that are

less timely but typically based on more comprehensive data. In most cases, the annual benchmark is nominal

gross output reported by the Census Bureau deflated by a suitable price index.

Annual revisions to the IP and capacity measures generally involve (1) incorporating new and revised

annual benchmark data on output, prices, and value-added proportions; (2) incorporating new monthly or

quarterly data that were revised or that arrived too late to be included in the regular six-month reporting window

for monthly IP; (3) updating seasonal adjustment factors; (4) updating the methods used to construct the indexes;

and (5) introducing changes to the industry- or market-group structure of the indexes based on changes to

underlying data sources.

Annual Benchmark Data on Output, Prices, and Value-Added Proportions

Output

The annual benchmark output indexes for IP are measures of real gross output at the six-digit NAICS

(2017) level. The Census Bureau provides annual figures for value added and the cost of materials for

manufacturing industries, which can be summed to obtain nominal gross output. The benchmark indexes for

manufacturing for this revision incorporated information for 2021 from the ASM.

New annual data were also incorporated into many other indexes not in the scope of the ASM. The

benchmark indexes for metallic and nonmetallic mineral mining were updated with any newly available data

from 2020 through 2022 from the USGS, and the benchmark index for publishing was advanced through 2021

based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Prices

Individual benchmarks of real gross output are obtained by deflating the measures of nominal gross

output by annual price deflators. In general, the benchmark industry price deflators consist of price indexes from

the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) through 2011 that are extended through 2021 with the related producer

price indexes (PPIs) from the BLS.3 However, for a few selected industries, the annual price deflators are

constructed by the Federal Reserve.4

Value-Added Proportions (Weights for Aggregation)

The IP system is organized as a hierarchical structure where individual production indexes are combined

using a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula to construct aggregate indexes of production. Utilization rate

aggregates are calculated on an annual basis through the most recent year as capacity-weighted aggregates of

individual utilization rates.

The weights that are used to combine individual IP indexes into more aggregate indexes are based on the

value added from the industry, calculated as gross output less cost of materials. For individual IP indexes that are

3The BEA price deflators were discontinued at the six-digit NAICS level after 2011. Overall, at the industry level, the BEA and PPI measures are quite similar, as the

BEA used weighted product-level PPIs to derive its industry-level shipments deflator.

4For selected industries, the Federal Reserve constructs price indexes from alternative sources. These industries include communications equipment (NAICS 3342),

computer storage devices (NAICS 334112), semiconductors (NAICS 334413), and pharmaceuticals (NAICS 325412).

4
defined at the six-digit (or more aggregate) NAICS level, the value-added weights are derived from either the

Economic Census or the ASM. For IP indexes that cover only part of a six-digit NAICS industry, the aggregation

weights were constructed by allocating value added (as defined by the Census Bureau) for a six-digit industry

across the various components of IP that compose that industry.

The allocation of value added across each component was determined by that component’s share of the

industry’s overall product shipments. As in the 2022 annual revision, this annual revision used data on product

shipments based on the new 2017 North American Product Classification System (NAPCS). In earlier revisions,

product shipments were classified based on NAICS and were included as part of the Census of Manufactures or

the ASM. NAPCS is coded independently of NAICS, and a concordance was required to align the recent data

with the historical data for the period before 2017. Missing values for specific NAPCS-based products were

imputed where necessary.

The Federal Reserve derives estimates of value added for the electric and gas utility industries from

annual revenue and expense data issued by other organizations. For electric utilities, the measures of value added

incorporate data from the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy and from the

Edison Electric Institute. For gas utilities, the value-added estimates incorporate data from the American Gas

Association. The weights for aggregation for mining industries are derived from value-added data from the

Economic Census. Figures for value added for mining industries in the years between the quinquennial

Economic Censuses are estimated based on industry-specific nominal output measures (the product of real

output indexes and price indexes).

The weights for aggregation, expressed as value added per unit output, were estimated with data on

producer prices for the period after 2021.

Revised Quarterly and Monthly Data

This revision incorporated source data on production, shipments, and inventories that became available or

were revised after the regular six-month reporting window for monthly IP was closed. These data were released

with too great of a lag to be included with monthly IP estimates but were available for inclusion in the annual

revision.

Revised Seasonal Factors

IP indexes are adjusted to remove from the underlying data the predictable movements related to timing,

holiday, workday, and monthly or quarterly seasonal patterns. Individual indexes are adjusted using the Census

X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment program. The seasonal factors are based on the full history of data

back to 1972, where available.

Seasonal factors for indexes based on production-worker hours were updated with data through January

2023. The updated factors for the physical-product-based indexes used data through December 2022 where

available. Extreme movements in indexes are often explicitly treated as additive outliers in the seasonal

adjustment procedure and thus excluded from the calculation of seasonal factors. Hurricanes that produce

extreme drops for industries based in the Gulf Coast region are often specified to be outlier events. In recent

years, the pandemic-related swings in most of the indexes were deemed outliers; in addition, February 2021 was

deemed an outlier for many industries because of the extreme cold weather that caused widespread outages.

Seasonal factors for unit motor vehicle assemblies have been updated, and projections through June 2024

are available on the Board’s website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g17/mvsf.htm. These factors are

based on production data through January 2023 and were revised back to January 2018. The seasonal factors

5
explicitly incorporate the holiday schedule for the vehicle assembly lines specified in the latest collective

bargaining agreements with domestic manufacturers.

Methodological Changes to Individual Production and Capacity Indexes

Change in Source Data for Three Production Indexes

With this revision, the source data for three indexes for original equipment motor vehicle parts were

modified. Previously, the indexes reflected data on production of major vehicle components (engines, brakes,

axles, and transmissions) from Stark’s News Service, as well as data for production-worker hours by industry

and for light vehicle production. The data on the direct production of components, however, were discontinued

so beginning in 2022 these three series are based just on production-worker hours for the industry and on light

vehicle production.

Change to Price Indexes for Semiconductors

With this revision, the price indexes used to deflate the nominal output of two semiconductor (chip)

categories have been modified. For microprocessor units (MPUs), a price index based on “hedonic” analysis of

the relationship between model prices and characteristics is used through 2015. Previously, this index was

extended using the producer price index published by the BLS adjusted by the average historical relationship

between the BLS index and the hedonic index. In light of analysis indicating that MPU performance on

benchmark tests designed to mimic representative MPU uses is highly correlated with the number of transistors

found on MPUs, the hedonic index is now extended using an implicit price index calculated as the nominal global

output of MPUs published by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) divided by a staff estimate of the

number of transistors used in MPUs based on data from Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International.

Similarly, staff analysis found that the performance of graphics processing units (GPUs) on benchmark

tests is highly correlated with the number of transistors on GPU models. GPUs are an example of processors

designed for narrow purposes—in contrast to MPUs, which are general-purpose processors—that make up the

majority of the chips found in a sub-industry IP index for metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) logic devices

excluding MPUs and MOS memory chips. Previously, nominal output for this category of chips was deflated by

a geometric mean of the price indexes for MPUs, MOS memory chips, and an index based on average prices for

other MOS logic types provided by the SIA. With this revision, the SIA-based component of the index has been

replaced beginning in 2008 with an implicit price index based on global nominal output of other MOS logic

devices divided by a staff estimate of transistors.

NOTE. The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the U.S. industrial sector, which is defined by the Federal Reserve to comprise

manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. Mining is defined as all industries in sector 21 of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS);

electric and gas utilities are those in NAICS sectors 2211 and 2212. Manufacturing comprises NAICS manufacturing industries (sector 31-33) plus the logging industry

and the newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing industries. Logging and publishing are classified elsewhere in NAICS (under agriculture and information

respectively), but historically they were considered to be manufacturing and were included in the industrial sector under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)

system. In December 2002, the Federal Reserve reclassified all of its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization statistical

release, which is published around the middle of the month, reports

measures of output, capacity, and capacity utilization in

manufacturing, mining, and the electric and gas utilities industries.

More detailed descriptions of industrial production and capacity

utilization are available on the Board’s website at

www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17. In addition, files containing

data shown in the release, more detailed series that were published in

the G.17 prior to December 2000, and historical data are available

from the Data Download Program on the Board’s website.

Instructions for searching for and downloading specific series are

provided as well.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Coverage. The industrial production (IP) index measures the real

output of the manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities

industries; the reference period for the index is 2017. Manufacturing

consists of those industries included in the North American Industry

Classification System, or NAICS, definition of manufacturing plus

those industries—logging and newspaper, periodical, book, and

directory publishing—that have traditionally been considered to be

manufacturing and included in the industrial sector. For the period

since 2012, the total IP index has been constructed from 296

individual series based on the 2017 NAICS codes. These individual

series are classified in two ways: (1) market groups, and (2) industry

groups. Market groups consist of products and materials. Total

products are the aggregate of final products, such as consumer goods

and equipment, and nonindustrial supplies (which are inputs to

nonindustrial sectors). Materials are inputs in the manufacture of

products. Major industry groups include three-digit NAICS industries

and aggregates of these industries—for example, durable and

nondurable manufacturing, mining, and utilities. A complete

description of the market and industry structures, including details

regarding series classification, relative importance weights, and data

sources, is available on the Board’s website at

www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.htm.

Source Data. On a monthly basis, the individual indexes of industrial

production are constructed from two main types of source data: (1)

output measured in physical units and (2) data on inputs to the

production process, from which output is inferred. Data on physical

products, such as tons of steel or barrels of oil, are typically obtained

from private trade associations and from government agencies; data of

this type are used to estimate monthly IP wherever possible and

appropriate. Production indexes for a few industries are derived by

dividing estimated nominal output (calculated using unit production

and unit values or sales) by a corresponding Fisher price index; the

most notable of these fall within the high-technology grouping and

include semiconductors. When suitable data on physical product are

not available, estimates of output are based on production-worker

hours by industry. Data on hours worked by production workers are

collected in the monthly establishment survey conducted by the

Bureau of Labor Statistics. The factors used to convert inputs into

estimates of production are based on historical relationships between

the inputs and the comprehensive annual data used to benchmark the

IP indexes; these factors also may be influenced by technological or

cyclical developments. The annual data used in benchmarking the

individual IP indexes are constructed from a variety of source data,

such as the quinquennial Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral

Industries and the Annual Survey of Manufactures, prepared by the

Bureau of the Census; the Minerals Yearbook, prepared by the U.S.

Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior; and publications

of the Department of Energy.

Aggregation Methodology and Weights. The aggregation method

for the IP index is a version of the Fisher-ideal index formula. (For a

detailed discussion of the aggregation method, see the Federal

Reserve Bulletin February 1997 and March 2001.) In the IP index,

series that measure the output of an individual industry are combined

using weights derived from their proportion in the total value-added

output of all industries. The IP index, which extends back to 1919, is

built as a chain-type index since 1972. The current formula for the

growth in monthly IP (or any of the sub-aggregates) since 1972 is the

geometric mean of the change in output (I), and, as can be seen

below, is computed using the unit value added estimate for the current

month (pm) and the estimate for previous month:

I

A

The IP proportions (typically shown in the first column of the relevant

tables in the monthly G.17 release) are estimates of the industries’

relative contributions to overall growth in the following year. For

example, the relative importance weight of the motor vehicles and

parts industry is about 5 percent. If output in this industry increased

10 percent in a month, then this gain would boost growth in total IP

by 5/10 percentage point (0.05 x 10% = 0.5%). To assist users with

calculations, the Federal Reserve’s website provides supplemental

monthly statistics that represent the exact proportionate contribution

of a monthly change in a component index to the monthly change in

the total index

(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/ipdisk/ipweightssa.txt).

Timing. The first estimate of output for a month is published around

the 15th of the following month. The estimate is preliminary (denoted

by the superscript “p” in tables) and subject to revision in each of the

subsequent five months as new source data become available.

(Revised estimates are denoted by the superscript “r” in tables.) For

the first estimate of output for a given month, about 76 percent of the

source data (in value-added terms) are available; the fraction of

available source data increases to 86 percent for estimates in the

second month that the estimate is published, 94 percent in the third

month, 98 percent in the fourth month, 98 percent in the fifth month,

and 98 percent in the sixth month. Data availability by data type in

2022 is summarized in the table below:

Availability of Monthly IP Data in Publication Window

(Percent of value added in 2022; the numbers may not sum because of

rounding.)

IP data received 76 86 94 98 98 98

IP data estimated 24 14 6 2 2 2

The physical product group includes series based on either monthly or

quarterly data. As can be seen in the first row of the table, in the first

month, a physical product indicator is available for more than one-half

of the series (in terms of value added) that ultimately are based on

physical product data (35 percent out of a total of 57 percent). Of the

35 percent, about two-thirds (24 percent of total IP) include series that

are derived from weekly physical product data and for which actual

monthly data may lag up to several months. On average, quarterly

product data are received for the fourth estimate of industrial

production. Specifically, quarterly data are available for the third

estimate of the last month of a quarter, the fourth estimate of the

second month of a quarter, and the fifth estimate of the first month of

a quarter.

Seasonal adjustment. Individual series are seasonally adjusted using

Census X-13 ARIMA. For series based on production-worker hours,

the current seasonal factors were estimated with data through

February 2023; for other series, the factors were estimated with data

through at least December 2022. Series are pre-adjusted for the

effects of holidays or the business cycle when appropriate. For the

data since 1972, all seasonally adjusted aggregate indexes are

calculated by aggregating the seasonally adjusted indexes of the

individual series. Additional documentation and X-13 specifications

can be found on the Board’s website at

www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/About.htm.

Reliability. The average revision to the level of the total IP index,

without regard to sign, between the first and the fourth estimates was

0.30 percent during the 1987–2022 period. The average revision to

the percent change in total IP, without regard to sign, from the first to

the fourth estimates was 0.24 percentage point during the 1987–2022

25
period. In most cases (about 86 percent), the direction of the change

in output indicated by the first estimate for a given month is the same

as that shown by the fourth estimate.

Rounding. The published percent changes are calculated from

unrounded indexes, and may not be the same as percent changes

calculated from the rounded indexes shown in the release.

CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Overview. The Federal Reserve Board constructs estimates of

capacity and capacity utilization for industries in manufacturing,

mining, and electric and gas utilities. For a given industry, the

capacity utilization rate is equal to an output index (seasonally

adjusted) divided by a capacity index. The Federal Reserve Board’s

capacity indexes attempt to capture the concept of sustainable

maximum output—the greatest level of output a plant can maintain

within the framework of a realistic work schedule, after factoring in

normal downtime and assuming sufficient availability of inputs to

operate the capital in place.

Coverage. Capacity indexes are constructed for 89 detailed industries

(71 in manufacturing, 16 in mining, and 2 in utilities), which mostly

correspond to industries at the three- and four-digit North American

Industry Classification System, or NAICS level. Estimates of capacity

and utilization are available for a variety of groups, including durable

and nondurable manufacturing, total manufacturing, mining, utilities,

and total industry. Manufacturing consists of those industries included

in the NAICS definition of manufacturing plus those

industries—logging and newspaper, periodical, book, and directory

publishing —that have traditionally been considered to be

manufacturing and included in the industrial sector. Also, special

aggregates are available, such as high-technology industries and

manufacturing excluding high-technology industries.

Source Data. The monthly rates of capacity utilization are designed

to be consistent with both the monthly data on production and the

periodically available data on capacity and utilization. Because there

is no direct monthly information on overall industrial capacity or

utilization rates, the Federal Reserve first estimates annual capacity

indexes from the source data. Capacity data reported in physical units

from government sources (primarily from the U.S. Geological Survey

and the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration)

and trade sources are available for portions of several industries in

manufacturing (for example, paper, industrial chemicals, petroleum

refining, motor vehicles), as well as for electric utilities and mining;

these industries represent about 26 percent of total industrial capacity.

When physical product data are unavailable for manufacturing

industries, capacity indexes are based on responses to the Bureau of

the Census’s Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity (QSPC); these

industries account for about 64 percent of total industry capacity. In

the absence of utilization data for a few mining and petroleum series,

capacity is based on trends through peaks in production (roughly 10

percent of total industry capacity). A detailed description of the

methodology used to construct the capacity indexes is available on the

Board’s website

(www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G17/Meth/MethCap.htm).

Aggregation Methodology. Monthly capacity aggregates are

calculated in three steps: (1) utilization aggregates are calculated on

an annual basis through the most recent full year as capacity-weighted

aggregates of individual utilization rates; (2) the annual aggregate

capacity is derived from the corresponding production and utilization

aggregates; (3) the monthly capacity aggregate is obtained by

interpolating with a Fisher index of its constituent monthly capacity

series. Utilization rates for the individual series and aggregates are

calculated by dividing the pertinent monthly production index by the

related capacity index.

Consistency. A major aim is that the Federal Reserve utilization rates

be consistent over time so that, for example, a rate of 85 percent

means about the same degree of tightness that it meant in the past. A

major task for the Federal Reserve in developing reasonable and

consistent time series of capacity and utilization is dealing with

inconsistencies between the movements of the industrial production

index and the survey-based utilization rates. The McGraw-Hill/DRI

Survey, now discontinued, was the primary source of manufacturing

utilization rates for many years. This survey of large companies

reported, on average, higher utilization rates than those reported by

establishments covered by the annual Survey of Plant Capacity (the

primary source of factory operating rates through 2006, after which it

was discontinued) for the fourteen years they overlapped.

Adjustments have been made to keep the industry utilization rates

currently reported by the Federal Reserve (now based on the QSPC)

roughly in line with rates formerly reported by McGraw-Hill. As a

consequence, the rates reported by the Federal Reserve tend to be

higher than the rates reported in the Census utilization surveys.

Perspective. Over the 1972–2022 period, the average total industry

utilization rate was 79.7 percent; for manufacturing, the average

factory operating rate was 78.2 percent. Industrial plants usually

operate at capacity utilization rates that are well below 100 percent:

none of the broad aggregates has ever reached 100 percent. For total

manufacturing, utilization rates have exceeded 90 percent only in

wartime. The highs and lows in capacity utilization are specific to

each series and do not all occur in the same month.
