Australia's manufacturing sector has shown signs of resurgence as the Judo Bank Manufacturing PMI jumped to 51.6 in November 2025, a significant rise from October's 49.7. The latest figures suggest a pivot back into expansionary territory for the sector, after a brief period of contraction.
The PMI, or Purchasing Managers' Index, is a critical economic health indicator for the manufacturing industry, with a reading above 50 signifying expansion and below indicating contraction. October's decline had signaled a potential slowdown, but the latest results reflect a positive shift, bolstering optimism in economic circles.
Released on 20 November 2025, the updated data suggests a revitalization driven by improved domestic demand and increased production levels. Economists and market analysts will be closely monitoring the coming months to see if this upward trend can be maintained and further sustained growth achieved within Australia's vital manufacturing sector.
