Helsinki, November 10, 2025 – Finland's industrial sector experienced a noteworthy downturn in September 2025, with production output shrinking by -1.8% compared to September 2024. This decline marks a significant decrease from the previous month, August 2025, which registered a -0.2% year-over-year change.
The alarming drop, updated on November 10, highlights a challenging period for Finland's manufacturing and production industries, indicating potential underlying issues affecting the sector. The September decline represents a sharper contraction in industrial activity compared to the relatively milder drop observed in August.
As Finland grapples with this downturn, attention shifts to potential factors influencing this decrease, including fluctuations in global demand, supply chain challenges, or changes in domestic policies. The Finnish government and industry stakeholders are likely to engage in scrutiny of the sector in pursuit of strategies to mitigate this negative trend and support a recovery in the coming months.
