industrial production
Large-scale goods creation
Industrial production is the output of factories, mines, and utilities—the manufacturing and extraction sectors of an economy.
Economists track industrial production as a measure of economic health: Industrial production rose 2% last quarter.
The term distinguishes goods made in factories from agricultural products, services, or handcrafted items.
