FR Industrial Production m/m

In May 2026, after two months of growth, production fell sharply in the manufacturing sector (-1.0% after +0.6% in April 2026). Overall, it also declined, but more slightly (-0.1% after +0.3%). In May 2026*, production declined in all major manufacturing sectors. It fell in the manufacture of transport equipment (-2.8% after +3.3%) and in the manufacture of electrical, electronic, and computer equipment (-2.3% after +1.4%). It decreased in the manufacture of "other industrial products (metallurgy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.)" ...

In April 2026, production increased again but slowed in the manufacturing sector (+0.4% after +1.3% in March 2026). It slowed even more sharply in industry as a whole (+0.1% after +1.4% in March 2026). In April 2026*, manufacturing output increased again, but at a slower pace (+0.4% after +1.3%). It accelerated in the manufacture of transport equipment (+3.3% after +2.2%) while it increased again in coking and refining (+0.6% after +6.5%), where it reached its highest level since 2019. Production remained stable in the food ...

In March 2026, output increased sharply in the manufacturing industry (+1.2%) after remaining virtually unchanged in the previous month (‑0.1%). Output bounced back in the whole industry (+1.0% after ‑0.9% in February 2026). In March 2026*, output increased in all sectors of the manufacturing industry. Output sped up in the manufacture of “other industrial products (metallurgy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.)” (+0.8% after +0.2%), driven in particular by the recovery in the manufacture of rubber and plastics products. It bounced ...

In February 2026, production remained stable in the manufacturing industry (following a +0.2% increase in January 2026). Output declined across the whole industry (-0.7% after a +0.2% increase in January 2026), due to particularly mild temperatures in February. In February 2026*, the stability of manufacturing output was due to offsetting effects across the major sectors. Manufacturing output declined again in the manufacture of food products and beverages industries (-0.8% after -0.9%) and fell back in the manufacture of transport ...

In January 2026, production rebounded in the manufacturing industry (+0.6% after -0.7% in December 2025). It also recovered in industry as a whole (+0.5% after -0.5%). In January 2026*, manufacturing output rebounded, driven solely by a sharp increase in the manufacture of transport equipment (+9.9% after -12.8%), particularly in other transport equipment (+19.1% after -20.1%) and more specifically in aerospace manufacturing. Conversely, production declined in all other sectors: it contracted in the manufacture of "other industrial ...

In December 2025, production declined sharply in the manufacturing sector (-0.8% after +0.5% in November). It also declined in industry as a whole (-0.7% after +0.1% in November 2025). In December 2025*, production fell sharply in the manufacture of transport equipment (-9.9% after +3.8%), particularly in other transport equipment (-15.8% after +4.3%), and more specifically in aerospace manufacturing, where the significant decline in December offset the increases of the previous three months. Production also fell again in coking and ...

In November 2025, production increased in the manufacturing sector (+0.3%) after being virtually stable the previous month (-0.1% in October). It was virtually stable across the entire industrial sector (-0.1% after +0.2%). In November 2025*, production increased in the manufacture of transport equipment (+2.6% after -0.3%): it rebounded in the automotive industry (+2.7% after -4.1%) and grew again in other transport equipment (+2.6% after +1.9%). Production also rebounded, but to a lesser extent, in the manufacture of electrical, ...

In October 2025, production is virtually stable in the manufacturing sector, following a marked increase the previous month (-0.1% after +0.9% in September). It increases moderately in industry as a whole (+0.2% after +0.7%). In October 2025*, production will decline in the manufacture of electrical, electronic and computer equipment (-2.2% after +1.1%): it will decline in particular in the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products (-3.5% after -3.2%). Conversely, it accelerated in coking and refining (+3.6% after ...
