Industrial production in Moscow grew by more than a quarter

The industrial production index in Moscow has increased by 25.3% in the seven months of 2021 compared to the same period last year, said Vladimir Yefimov, Deputy Mayor of the capital.

According to him, it is explained by the development of production of telecommunication equipment, paper products and pharmaceutical products in the capital. In addition, the city has increased production of certain types of consumer goods - clothes and cars.

In particular, the production of paper and paper products has doubled since the beginning of the year, which is associated with the active development of delivery services on the background of the increasing segment of online shopping and the use of cardboard packaging instead of plastic, explained the head of the capital department of investment and industrial policy Alexander Prokhorov. Last month, online retailers and food delivery services in Russia increased the number of accepted orders by 3.3 times compared to July 2020.

"Significant growth in January - July this year was also observed in the production of textiles: the segment grew 2.4 times. Clothing production increased by 61.7%: several large factories specializing in the production of textiles and clothing, as well as products for the needs of public services are now operating in Moscow. The capital production of chemicals and products for this period increased by 42% compared to the same period last year, and the production of medicines and materials used for medical purposes - by 35.2%," - said the head of the department.

The 71.1% increase in production of electrical equipment is associated with an active upgrade of information infrastructure by mobile operators. The growth was also affected by the expansion of data center infrastructure in the Moscow region. In addition, production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers increased by 57.5% in the seven months of this year, added the Mayor's Office.
