Industrial production in Argentina grew 8.5% in April 2025 compared to the same period last year, the 5th consecutive month of growth after an 18th contraction, and accelerating after a 5.0% rebound in March. The increase was driven mainly by stronger expansions in motor vehicles and other transportation (9.6% vs. -9.6%) and equipment, devices and instruments (27.6% vs. 19.3%); with more modest gains in petroleum refining, coke and nuclear fuel (3.6% vs. 1.6%), food and beverages (7.5% vs. 5.6%), textile products, clothing and footwear (11.0% vs. 10.5%), wood, paper, publishing and printing (5.1% vs. 3.4%) and manufacturing (36.2% vs. 32.9%). On the other hand, there was a slight slowdown in base metals and non-metals (14.2% versus 16.6%) and machinery and equipment (12.8% versus 8.7%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production grew 2.2%, reversing the 4.5% drop in the previous month.
