The increase in the use of home office was especially significant in the industry sector, as shown on the graph on ''[[:File:Companies using home office in the industry and construction sectors|Companies using home office in the industry and construction sectors]]''. Before the state of alarm, only 15% of industrial companies used this work format, yet these figures rose to around 60% during the period assessed. The construction industry followed a similar pattern, with the percentage rising from around 8% to nearly 40%. This way of working meant a qualitative change in the way industrial companies operated, and everything points to it being maintained in the future, albeit in a more regulated and proportional way after the pressure of the health crisis.
Lastly, the pandemic also had effects on production and turnover in these sectors. The ''[[:File:Monthly evolution in the Business Turnover Index in the mining and quarryingsector|Monthly evolution in the Business Turnover Index in the mining and quarrying]]'' and ''[[:File:Monthly evolution in the Business Turnover Index in the industry sector|in the industry sector]]'' showcase this effect. Taking the 2015 figures as a reference, the year-on-year decrease from 2019 to 2020 was evident in both cases, mainly in March and April. The ''[[:File:Business Turnover Index in the construction sector|Business Turnover Index in construction sector]]'' showed a similar trend, yet a return to previous figures was observed from July 2020 onwards.
