    Brussels:  Eurozone industrial production declined for the first time in four months in December, according to data released today by Eurostat.

    Industrial output fell by 1.4 percent month-on-month in December, reversing a 0.3 percent increase recorded in November. The contraction marked the first decline since August. Among the main industrial groupings, all segments except durable consumer goods registered decreases during the month.

    Production of capital goods posted the sharpest drop at 1.9 percent. Output of energy and non-durable consumer goods each declined by 0.3 percent, while intermediate goods edged down by 0.1 percent. In contrast, durable consumer goods production rose by 0.2 percent.

    On an annual basis, industrial production growth slowed to 1.2 percent in December from 2.2 percent in November. A similarly moderate pace of expansion was last observed in August 2025.

    Across the European Union (EU27), industrial production decreased by 0.8 percent month-on-month in December, following a 0.1 percent fall in November. Year-on-year growth stood at 1.4 percent, easing from November’s 2.0 percent gain.

    Among member states, the steepest monthly declines were recorded in Slovakia, Germany and Spain, while the highest increases were observed in Luxembourg, Sweden and Malta.

    For 2025 as a whole, average annual industrial output rose by 1.5 percent in both the euro area and the EU.
