Italy’s industrial production rose 0.4% MoM in July 2025 (seasonally adjusted), with output up 0.9% YoY on both calendar-adjusted and unadjusted terms, reflecting modest annual growth but weak monthly momentum.
- The 3-month moving average rose +0.2% versus the previous three months, pointing to a slight upward trend.
- Coke & refined petroleum products posted the strongest YoY gain at +10.8%, followed by computer & electronic products (+6.4% YoY) and food/beverages (+5.7% YoY).
- Machinery and equipment rose +5.2% YoY, while pharmaceuticals increased +4.8% YoY.
- Broader manufacturing activity grew +2.0% YoY, supported by sectors such as electrical equipment (+1.7% YoY) and fabricated metals (+0.9% YoY).
- Chemicals (-2.7% YoY), rubber/plastics (-1.6% YoY), and textiles (-1.5% YoY) registered contractions, showing weakness in some industrial segments.
- Electricity, gas, steam & air conditioning supply plunged -9.4% YoY, the sharpest decline among all categories.
- Transport equipment (-0.1% YoY) and wood/paper (-1.1% YoY) also slipped, weighing on overall growth.

Italian industrial production rose slightly by 0.2% MoM in June 2025, bringing Q2 growth to +0.1% QoQ. However, output declined -0.9% YoY on both calendar-adjusted and unadjusted terms.
- The largest YoY gains were in coke & refined petroleum products (+15.7%), mining (+6.2%), and electricity/gas supply (+4.7%).
- Pharmaceuticals (+1.8% YoY) and other manufacturing (+1.1%) also showed moderate growth.
- The steepest YoY declines came from textiles (-8.0%), chemicals (-3.2%), and rubber/plastics (-3.0%).
- Core manufacturing categories such as machinery (-1.5%), food (-1.7%), and electrical equipment (-2.0%) also contracted.
- The general index's -0.9% YoY decline reflects broad-based weakness, with 11 out of 16 industrial groupings posting negative growth.

Italian industrial production rose 0.1% MoM (vs 0.5% MoM expected) in March, while the 3Mo3M average was up 0.4%, indicating modest short-term momentum.
- On a calendar-adjusted basis, production declined -1.8% YoY, and the unadjusted industrial production index was down -0.3% YoY.
- Manufacturing production was down -3.3% YoY in March, up from -4.9% YoY in February.
- The decline in manufacturing production was offset by a rise in utilities production (+12.2% YoY) and mining & quarrying production (+1.7% YoY).

Italian industrial production decreased -0.9% MoM in January, mostly in line with expectation, with the 3-month moving average also down -0.7%.
- On a calendar-adjusted basis, industrial production fell -2.7% YoY in February which was well below expectations of a -1.9% YoY decline.
- The unadjusted industrial production index declined -6.4% YoY in February.
- Manufacturing production was down -4.9% YoY, much lower than the -0.9% YoY in January.

Italian industrial production increased 3.2% MoM in January, well above the 1.5% MoM expected and a strong rebound from the -3.1% MoM decline in December.
- On an annual basis, industrial production is down -0.6% and manufacturing production is down -0.8%.

Italian industrial production fell -3.1% MoM and -7.1% YoY in December, well below expectations of a small -0.2% MoM decline.
- Production in Q4 was down -1.2% QoQ, and for the full year 2024, production was down -3.5%.
- Manufacturing production was down -8.7% YoY with huge declines in transport equipment manufacturing (-23.6% YoY), textiles and accessories (-18.3% YoY), and basic metals and fabricated metal products (-14.6% YoY).
- The non-manufacturing production categories, mining & quarrying (+17.4% YoY) and utilities (+5.0% YoY) offset some of the weakness in manufacturing.

Italian industrial production increased 0.3% MoM (vs 0.2% MoM expected) but was down -1.5% YoY. Manufacturing production is down -2.3% YoY with large declines in machinery (-6.2% YoY) and transport equipment (-13.8% YoY) production. The headline reading is partly being held up by strong electricity & gas (+7.6% YoY) and mining & quarrying (+3.8% YoY) production.
