According to the official statistics body, the sectoral blocks that presented levels of utilization of installed capacity higher than the general level were basic metal industries (81.5%), paper and cardboard (81.4%), non-metallic mineral products (81.1%), oil refining (78.3%), and chemical substances and products (68.9 %).
Meanwhile, the sectoral blocks that were located below the general level were tobacco products (65.1%), publishing and printing (64.1%), textile products (63.8%), food products and beverages (63.6%), metalworking except automotive (63.2%), automotive industry (54.0%), and rubber and plastic products (53.8%).
In July 2022, compared to the same month of 2021, the main positive incidences were observed in the metalworking industry except automotive and in the automotive industry.
The metal-mechanical industry except automotive registered in July a level of utilization of the installed capacity of 63.2%, higher than that of the same month of the previous year (54.8%)mainly from increased manufacturing of agricultural machinery and appliances for domestic use.
In July, the automotive industry showed an installed capacity utilization level of 54%, higher than that of July 2021 (41.1%), related to a greater number of units manufactured by automotive terminals.

For its part, oil refining exhibited a level of utilization of installed capacity of 78.3%, higher than in July of last year (72.1%), due to a higher level of crude oil processing.
While food products and beverages showed in the seventh month of the year a level of utilization of the installed capacity of 63.6%higher than that registered in July of the previous year (62.2%), linked, mainly, to a growth in the level of utilization of the capacity of the water and soft drink plants and of the beef production plants.
In another order, non-metallic mineral products showed an installed capacity utilization level of 81.1%, higher than the same month of 2021 (77.2%), as a consequence, fundamentally, of a greater production of cement and of glass.
At the same time, rubber and plastic products presented a level of utilization of the installed capacity of 53.8%, higher than that registered in the same month of 2021 (52.4%), as a consequence of higher levels of manufacturing of manufactured plastic.
It should be noted that the indicator for the use of installed capacity in industry measures the proportion used, in percentage terms, of the productive capacity of the industrial sector. The survey comprises a panel of between 600 and 700 companies.
For its calculation, what is effectively the maximum production that each sector can obtain with the installed capacity is taken into account.
