Monthly Survey of Manufacturing: Flash estimate, October 2022
Released: 2022-11-22
Given the rapidly evolving economic situation, Statistics Canada is providing an advance estimate of sales in the manufacturing sector for October. Advance results indicate that total manufacturing sales rose 2.0% in October. The largest increases were in the food, chemical and petroleum and coal product industries.
This estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 60.3%. The average final response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 94.2%. As Statistics Canada continues to collect data for the October reference month, this early indicator is subject to a higher revision rate than our regular monthly release.
Note to readers
The percentage change is calculated using seasonally adjusted data in current dollars.
This flash estimate is a special product published in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic to provide Canadians with timely information on the manufacturing sector. The official estimate of manufacturing sales for the month of October, which will be based on a more complete set of survey and administrative data, is scheduled for release on December 14, 2022.
