Italy Plant Construction Cost Index
Subscribe & Adjust Industrial Plant Capital Costs in Italy over Time
Plant Construction Indexes (IC Indexes) are unbiased multipliers for instantaneously adjusting construction costs of industrial plants over time. These monthly series measure the changes in the average cost of constructing a manufacturing plant, with historical data and short-term forecasts available to predict trends.
IC indexes and key manufacturing cost factors in Italy and up to 32 other countries are provided with the annual subscription to Intratec Industry Economics Worldwide.
Chart Description. The IC Index for Italy experienced a 5% increase in August 2019, up from the previous year's index value of 130, reaching a value of 136. This means that the average cost of constructing an industrial plant in Italy has risen by 5% during this period. For example, if the cost of building a plant in Italy was USD 100 million in August 2018, the 5% increase in the IC Index suggests that the same plant would cost approximately USD 105 million in August 2019.
Data Use. The monthly IC indexes series measure the change in the average cost at which a plant is constructed. All available IC indexes series start back in January 2000 (base period) when the indexes are set at 100 (base value). IC indexes and key manufacturing cost factors in Italy and up to 32 other countries are provided with the annual subscription to Intratec Industry Economics Worldwide.
