Over a month, output fell again in the manufacture of transport equipment
In August 2025*, output fell again in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑4.5% after ‑3.9% – revised data). In particular, it continued to decline significantly in the manufacture of “other transport equipment” (‑6.0% after ‑5.5% – revised data), as a pullback following the exceptional rise in June (+17.3%).
Output fell back sharply in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (‑4.7% after +4.2%) and it went down more modestly in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑0.3% after -1.2%), as well as in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (‑0.6% after +1.6%).
On the contrary, output bounced back in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.2% after ‑2.5%). However, it remained stable in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” after rising in July 2025 (+1.1%).

Over a year, manufacturing output was up by 1.6%
In the manufacturing industry, cumulative output over the last three months (June to August 2025) was higher than that of the same three months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry (+1.6%), as well as in the whole industry (+1.3%).
Over this one-year period, output increased sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+11.7%). It increased also in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+2.5%) as well as in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+3.2%). Output was almost stable in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.1%). On the contrary, it went down in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑2.1%) and, to a lesser extent, in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” (‑0.3%).
Over a month, construction output accelerated
In August, output in construction accelerated (+1.2% after +0.6% in July). It increased in the specialised construction activities (+1.4% after +0.6%) and in the construction of buildings (+3.7% after +1.4%). On the opposite, output in construction fell again in the civil engineering (‑1.3% after ‑0.2%).
Cumulative output in the construction over the last three months (June to August 2025) was lower than that of the same three months of the previous year (‑2.8%).

The monthly evolution of the July 2025 manufacturing index has been revised upwards
The evolution of the manufacturing index between June and July 2025 has been revised significantly upwards, to -0.5% instead of -1.7% (after rounding). The evolution of the index for the whole industry has been also revised upwards, at -0.1% instead of -1.1% (after rounding). These revisions mainly result from the integration of late responses from the manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft.

* 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.
