Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

UK Manufacturers’ Sales by Product Survey (ProdCom) is a European Union (EU) wide survey of production mainly for the manufacturing industries collected under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3924/91. PRODCOM is classified to the Commerce Energy and Industry National Statistics Theme Group. Manufacturing (excluding recycling) and mineral extraction are sub-divided into a list of around 3,800 products. Companies selected for ProdCom supply value sales data (as a proxy for production) for the products they manufacture, as well as non-manufacturing income. In addition, companies in approximately three quarters of the covered industries supply volume sales data.Linking to other business studiesThese data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. You may consider applying for other business data to assist your research.Latest Edition InformationFor the sixteenth edition (May 2025), annual data for 2011 and 2018-2022 have been updated and a new data file for 2023 has been added to the study. A new Variable Catalogue for the same time period has been added, along with a Question Library file for 2023.

Main Topics:

Businesses are asked for the value of sales for all of their products. Some industries are also asked for the volume of products they manufacture. They are also asked for merchanted goods (goods purchased for resale without processing), work done (work done on material supplied by a customer), waste products (value of sales of waste products) and non-production income (income derived from provision of services and non-production activities). If sales of a particular product are less than £25,000, these can be recorded as ‘other sales’ rather than being split by product.
