Over a month, manufacturing output fell back due mainly to the manufacture of transport equipment
In December 2025*, output fell back strongly in the manufacture of transport equipment (-9.9% after +3.8%), particularly in manufacture of other transport equipment (-15.8% after +4.3%) and more specifically in aerospace construction, where the sharp decline in December offset the increases of the previous three months. Output decreased again in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-0.9% after -0.8%).
On the contrary, output bounced back in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” (+1.0% after -0.4%) and in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+1.4% after -0.5%). Output increased again in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+0.7% after +1.2%).
In mining and quarrying, energy, water supply, output went down again (-0.2% after -1.7%).

Over a year, output was up by 1.8% in the whole industry
In the manufacturing industry, output of the fourth quarter of 2025 was 1.8% higher than that of the fourth quarter of 2024 in the manufacturing industry, and output was 2.0% higher in the whole industry.
Over this one-year period, output increased very sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+12.4%), despite the sharp decline in December. Output increased also, but more moderately, in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” (+0.6%), in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+1.1%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+3.2%).
On the contrary, output decreased in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑1.0%) and in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (‑0.3%).
Over one month, output bounced back by 2.2% in construction
In December 2025, output in construction bounced back (+2.2% after ‑0.7% in November). Output bounced back in the specialised construction activities (+1.3% after ‑0.6%), in the civil engineering (+7.4% after ‑2.0%) and in the construction of buildings (+4.1% after ‑0.2%).

The monthly evolution of the November 2025 manufacturing index has been revised upwards
The evolution of the manufacturing index between October and November 2025 has been revised upwards by +0.2 points, to +0.5% instead of +0.3% (after rounding). The evolution of the index for the whole industry has been also revised upwards by +0.2 points, to +0.1% instead of ‑0.1% (after rounding). These revisions are related to the update of the Seasonally Adjusted – Working Day Adjusted (SA-WDA) parameters.

* All data in this publication are seasonally and working days adjusted (SA-WDA). In the commentary, percentage changes by sub-branches are presented, with some exceptions, in descending order of their contribution to the overall percentage change of the industrial production index. The contribution of a sub-branch takes into account its weight and the scale of its change.
The methodology used to build and calculate the industrial production index (IPI) is detailed in the “Documentation” tab of this publication.
