In a promising sign for Spain's manufacturing sector, the latest figures indicate a slight improvement in the sector's performance for October. The HCOB Spain Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 52.1 in October 2025, up from a reading of 51.5 in September.
This increase marks a positive development for the Spanish economy, as the PMI has moved further into expansion territory, where a figure above 50 indicates growth. The updated data, released on November 3, 2025, suggests a gradual strengthening in manufacturing activity in one of Europe’s leading industrial nations.
The upward trend in the PMI reflects resilience and possibly improved economic conditions or demand across key sectors. This boost could be critical in ensuring sustained growth as the country navigates global economic challenges. The increase in the PMI from September continues to highlight underlying robustness in the Spanish manufacturing landscape as we approach the end of the year.
