Italy Industrial Production: September 2025 2025-11-12 04:00
Italy’s industrial production fell -2.4% MoM in August 2025 (seasonally adjusted), following a -0.6% decline in the three-month average, reflecting weaker momentum in output. On a calendar-adjusted basis, production declined -2.7% YoY, though the unadjusted index rose +5.7% YoY due to one fewer working day compared with August 2024.
- Industrial production (seasonally adjusted) fell -2.4% MoM, while the three-month moving average was down -0.6%, indicating sustained short-term weakness.
- On a calendar-adjusted basis, output decreased -2.7% YoY with 20 working days versus 21 in August 2024.
- The unadjusted index rose +5.7% YoY, reflecting calendar effects and nominal growth in some sectors.
- The general manufacturing index fell -0.7% YoY (calendar adjusted), pointing to overall industrial softness despite resilience in select export-oriented sectors.
- Pharmaceuticals recorded the strongest increase at +16.1% YoY, followed by transport equipment (+9.9%) and coke and refined petroleum products (+7.1%).
- Machinery and equipment rose +4.7%, and computer and electronic products gained +3.1%, showing strength in higher-value industries.
- The sharpest declines were in electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (-13.5%), other manufacturing (-6.4%), and mining and quarrying (-3.9%).

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.
