The average daily output of the Dutch industry increased in April 2015 by 0.9% compared to April 2014, according to figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS). In March 2015, industrial production was 1.6% higher than a year earlier. The production in the pharmaceutical industry and the transport industry increased by 16% and 9% respectively. In contrast to these industries, the chemical industry produced 8% less. Industrial production is still negatively affected by the loss of production capacity in the tobacco industry.
