Malta’s industrial production increased by 4.9% year-on-year in August 2025, following a downwardly revised 3.3% rise in July. The growth was largely driven by a faster expansion in manufacturing output (6.2% vs 3.1% in July), particularly in the production of computer, electronic and optical products, and motor vehicles (37.2%) and food and beverages (8.2%). By main industrial groupings, output growth accelerated for capital goods (19.5% vs 16.6%) and intermediate goods (11.6% vs 5.9%), while production declined for energy (-8.8% vs 5%) and consumer goods (-6% vs -1.2%). Excluding energy, industrial output went up by 6.2%, after a 3.2% gain in the prior month. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial activity grew by 1.5% in August, rebounding from an upwardly revised 5.3% drop in July.
