Over a month, output bounced back sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment
In September 2025*, output bounced back sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+5.5% after ‑4.3%), in the wake of aerospace construction, which has been, since June, the sector contributing most to fluctuations in manufacturing industry.
Output bounced back also, but more modestly in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.2% after ‑0.4%), in the manufacture of food products and beverages (+0.4% after -0.4%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+1.2% after -2.6%). On the contrary, output went down again in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” (-0.3% after -0.2%). Finally, it remained stable in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (after -0.5%).

Over a year, manufacturing output was up by 1.3%
In the manufacturing industry, cumulative output over the last three months (July to September 2025) was higher than that of the same three months of the previous year in the manufacturing industry (+1.3%), as well as in the whole industry (+1.1%).
Over this one-year period, output increased sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (+11.0%) and in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (+6.6%). Output increased more modestly in the manufacture of machinery and equipment goods (+1.5%) and in mining and quarrying, energy, water supply (+0.2%). On the contrary, it went down in the manufacture of food products and beverages (‑2.7%) and, to a lesser extent, in the “other manufacturing industries (manufacture of basic metals, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc.)” (‑0.4%).
Over one month, output decreased by 1.3% in construction
In September 2025, output in construction fell back (‑1.3% after +1.2% in August). It fell back in the specialised construction activities (‑1.0% after +1.4%) and more sharply in the construction of buildings (‑5.2% after +3.9%). Output in construction fell again in the civil engineering (‑1.3% after ‑1.6%).
Cumulative output in the construction over the last three months (July to September 2025) was lower than that of the same three months of the previous year (‑1.6%).

The monthly evolution of the August 2025 manufacturing index has been revised downwards
The evolution of the manufacturing index between July and August 2025 has been revised downwards, to -1.0% instead of -0.7% (after rounding). The evolution of the index for the whole industry has been also revised downwards, to -0.9% instead of -0.7% (after rounding). These revisions mainly result from the integration of late responses from certain companies.

* 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.
