Austria’s industrial production rose by 1.1% year-on-year in February 2026, up from a 0.3% increase in January. This was the third consecutive month of growth, supported primarily by continued expansion in the industrial sector, although its pace slowed slightly (1.3% vs 1.8% in January). At the same time, the downturn in construction moderated sharply, with output edging down just 0.1% following a steep 7.6% drop in the previous month.
Among the main industrial groupings, production increased notably for consumer durable goods (16.2% vs 23.1%), energy (8.3% vs -0.6%), and intermediate goods (0.9% vs 2.1%). In contrast, output declined for capital goods (-0.3% vs 1.8%) and consumer non-durable goods (-3.9% vs 1.8%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, overall industrial output grew by 0.1% in February, easing from a 0.6% gain in the prior month.
