Sweden’s manufacturing sector continued to expand in February, with the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) inching up to 56.1 from 56.0 in January 2026. The latest reading, updated on 2 March 2026, suggests that industrial activity is holding firm in positive territory, with only a marginal but still directionally positive improvement month on month.
A PMI level above 50 indicates expansion, and February’s figure confirms that Swedish manufacturers remain on a growth footing. While the pace of improvement is modest, the data points to ongoing resilience in the sector at the start of 2026 and hints at stable operating conditions for producers following January’s solid performance at 56.0.
