The Monthly Survey of Manufacturing publishes the values (in Canadian dollars) of sales of goods manufactured, inventories and orders. The Monthly Survey of Manufacturing data are used as indicators of the economic condition of manufacturing industries; as inputs to Canada's gross domestic product; as components in the Statistics Canada composite indicator; as input to economic studies, and in econometric models (e.g. to determine market share, apparent domestic availability, etc.). Results from this survey are used by both the private and public sectors including finance departments of the federal and provincial governments, the Bank of Canada, Industry Canada, the System of National Accounts, the manufacturing community, consultants and research organizations in Canada, the United States and abroad, and the business press.
