Hong Kong’s industrial production growth eased in the second quarter of 2026, with year-over-year output expanding by 2.30%, down from 3.20% in the first quarter of the year. The figures, updated on 14 September 2026, point to a moderation in industrial momentum after a stronger start to the year.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each quarter’s performance with the same period a year earlier. While industrial activity continues to grow, the slowdown from Q1 to Q2 suggests a softer expansion in Hong Kong’s industrial sector as the year progresses. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch subsequent releases closely for signs of whether this deceleration will persist in the second half of 2026.
