Over a month, manufacturing output fell again in almost all branches
In July 2026*, output declined in almost all major branches of the manufacturing industry, except in coke and refined petroleum products (+8.3% after ‑12.4%). It fell back again in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑2.8% after ‑3.8%) and in the manufacture of “other industrial products” (metallurgy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.) (‑0.5% after ‑0.5%). Output fell back in the manufacture of electrical, electronic and computer equipment (‑0.8% after +0.2%). It was almost stable in the food and beverage industries (‑0.1% after ‑1.1%).
Output increased again in mining and quarrying, energy, and water supply (+0.9% after +3.2%), and reached its highest level since November 2021. This increase was driven by higher electricity production and consumption during the second heatwave (from 4 to 19 July 2026).

Over a year, output was up by 0.8% in the whole industry
Cumulative output over the last three months (May to July 2026) was higher than that of the same three months of the previous year in the whole industry (+0.8%). Conversely, it fell in the manufacturing industry (‑0.4%).
Over this period, output increased sharply in mining and quarrying, energy, and water supply (+5.0%) and more moderately in the manufacture of electrical, electronic and computer equipment (+0.5%).
Conversely, it declined in the manufacture of transport equipment (‑1.9%), in the food and beverage industries (‑0.8%), and was almost stable in the manufacture of “other industrial products” (metallurgy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.) (‑0.1%). Finally, output also fell in coke and refined petroleum products (‑3.8%).
Over a month, output was stable in construction
In July 2026, output was stable in construction (after ‑3.1% in June). It fell again in specialised construction activities (‑0.2% after ‑2.9%), but bounced back in civil engineering (+1.9% after ‑5.0%) and in building construction (+0.4% after ‑3.4%).
Cumulative output in construction over the last three months (May to July 2026) was 3.6% lower than that of the same three months of the previous year.

The monthly evolution of the June 2026 manufacturing index has been revised upwards
The evolution of the manufacturing index between May and June 2026 (after rounding) has been revised upwards by 0.1 points, to ‑1.0% instead of ‑1.1%. Conversely, it has been revised downwards for the whole industry (‑0.1% instead of +0.1%), due due to the downward revision of electricity transport data.

* 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.
