Dutch manufacturing production returned to growth in July 2026, with output rising 1.6% month-over-month, according to data updated on 10 September 2026. The improvement marks a clear turnaround from June 2026, when production fell 1.3% compared with May.
The shift from contraction to expansion suggests a stabilization in Dutch industrial activity over the summer period. On a month-over-month basis, July’s positive reading contrasts sharply with the previous month’s decline, indicating that manufacturing output has regained some momentum after a weaker start to the summer.
