Austria’s industrial production contracted sharply in December 2025, with output falling 3.3% year-on-year, according to the latest data updated on 10 February 2026. The decline marks a significant deterioration from November 2025, when industrial production was down a marginal 0.1% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring December 2025 activity against December 2024, while the previous reading compared November 2025 with November 2024. The move from a near-flat performance in November to a steep drop in December suggests a pronounced weakening in Austria’s industrial sector as the year came to a close.
The deeper contraction in December underscores mounting pressure on manufacturing and related industries, with the negative year-on-year readings signaling that output remains below its level of a year earlier and that the sector entered 2026 on a weaker footing.
