OECD Manufacturing Capacity Utilisation Ranking

OECD manufacturing capacity utilization rate is an indicator showing the extent to which manufacturing companies utilize their equipment. Higher utilization rates indicate favorable economic conditions and active production activities by companies. Top-ranking countries are typically advanced economies in economic expansion phases, with strong demand and efficient capital investment. Conversely, bottom-ranking countries face economic stagnation or insufficient demand, with increasing idle capacity. This indicator affects corporate investment appetite and employment decisions, serving as an important benchmark for assessing overall economic health.
