Statistics Explained

Glossary:Output

Output (P.1) consists of the products created during the accounting period.

In the national accounts the following types of output are distinguished:

  • market output (P.11)
  • output for own final use (P.12)
  • non-market output (P.13), which is further subdivided into payments for non-market output (P.131) and other non-market output (P.132).


Market producers record only market output and output for own final use. Non-market producers (which are recorded in sectors general government and non-profit institutions serving households) record mainly non-market output.
