Production output was estimated to have decreased by 0.1% during the three months to November 2025 compared with the three months to August 2025.

• The largest negative contributor to the three-monthly fall in November 2025 came from “manufacturing” (down 0.3%), supported by “mining and quarrying” (down 1.0%); this was partially offset by increases in “electricity and gas” (up 1.1%) and “water supply and sewerage” (up 0.4%).
• 7 of the 13 subsectors in “manufacturing” decreased during the three months to November 2025; this fall mainly came from within “transport equipment” (down 9.4%), specifically "motor vehicles" (down 18.9%).
• The fall in the three months to November 2025 for “manufacture of motor vehicles” is driven by the 29.5% fall in September 2025, reflecting the impact of a cyber incident; since then, the industry has partially recovered to near the August 2025 level, with monthly growths of 9.6% and 25.5% in October and November 2025.
• Monthly production output was estimated to have increased by 1.1% in November 2025; this follows a rise in October 2025 (up 1.3%) and a fall in September 2025 (down 1.4%).
• The rise in monthly production output in November 2025 resulted solely from strength in “manufacturing” (up 2.1%); this was partially offset by weakness in “mining and quarrying” (down 2.5%), “electricity and gas” (down 0.5%), and “water supply and sewerage” (down 0.6%).
• 7 of the 13 manufacturing subsectors saw a monthly increase in November 2025, with the largest positive contributions at sub-section level coming from "manufacture of transport equipment” (up 10.7%).
