Annotations:

1. Explanatory Notes

Capacity utilization rate: refers to the ratio of actual output to production capacity (both measured by value).

The actual output of the enterprise refers to the total industrial output value of the enterprise in the reporting period; the production capacity of the enterprise refers to the product output that the enterprise can achieve and can maintain for a long time when the production equipment (machinery) maintains normal operation under the condition that the supply of labor, raw materials, fuel, transport, etc. is guaranteed during the reporting period.

2. Survey Method and Statistical Coverage

The survey involving about 110,000 industrial enterprises above the designated size includes a comprehensive survey of large and medium-sized enterprises and a sample survey of micro and small enterprises above the designated size.

Extrapolate aggregate data of micro and small enterprises based on sampling method were synthesized with the survey data of large and medium-sized enterprises to calculate the national industrial capacity utilization rate of industrial enterprises above the designated size.

The survey was conducted on a quarterly basis and the data acquired have not been seasonally adjusted.

3. Standard on Industrial Classification

The National Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (GB/T4754-2017) was performed.
