PRODCOM 2021: EU Production Statistics for Mining and Manufactured Goods

PRODCOM refers to the EU system of production statistics for mining and tangible goods. The dataset is based on an 8-digit product classification linked to the Harmonised System and Combined Nomenclature. It is prepared annually by the PRODCOM Committee and published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing industrial output trends based on the annual production statistics.
• Mapping product categories across classification systems like ISIC, NACE, and HS.
• Studying the mining and manufacturing sectors within the European Union.

Strengths

• The classification uses an 8-digit code directly linked to central product classifications like CPA.
• The dataset is tied to a specific year (2021), providing a consistent temporal snapshot.
• It is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
