Monthly Survey of Manufacturing: Flash estimate, May 2024
Released: 2024-06-25
Statistics Canada is providing an advance estimate of sales in the manufacturing sector for May. Advance results indicate that total manufacturing sales increased 0.2% in May. The largest increases were in the aerospace product and parts industry group as well as the food product subsector.
This estimate was calculated based on a weighted response rate of 67.6%. The average final response rate for the survey over the previous 12 months has been 94.5%. As Statistics Canada continues to collect data for the May reference month, this early indicator is subject to a higher revision rate than our regular monthly release.
