Slovakia’s industrial production fell 3.8% year-on-year in October 2025, continuing its downward trend after a brief 0.6% gain in September. Output declined the most in transport equipment manufacturing, which dropped 11%, the worst monthly result since March 2024, partly due to a high comparison base. Electricity and gas supply dropped 15.5%, while electrical equipment (-8%) and machinery & equipment (-6%) also declined. Meanwhile, the manufacture of chemicals rose over 39%. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output fell 2.5%. For the first ten months of 2025, overall industrial production declined 2.4% compared with the same period last year, with electricity & gas supply, metal production, and machinery & equipment being the largest drags, while gains in transport equipment partially offset losses. 7 of 15 sectors recorded declines, underscoring broad-based industrial weakness.
