Austria’s industrial production increased by 0.3% year-on-year in January 2026, slowing from a revised 1.1% rise in December 2025. The deceleration was largely due to a weaker expansion in overall industrial activity (1.8% vs. 3.2% in December) and a sharper contraction in construction output (-7.6% vs. -5.4%).
Among the main industrial groupings, growth eased in intermediate goods (2.1% vs. 3.8%), capital goods (1.8% vs. 8.8%), and consumer durables (23.1% vs. 28.9%). In contrast, production of non-durable consumer goods continued to grow, edging up to 1.8% from 1.1%. Output in the energy sector also declined at a slower rate (-0.6% vs. -8.3%).
On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production increased by 0.6% in January.
