Eurozone industrial production declined by 1.4% month-on-month in December 2025, reversing a downwardly revised 0.3% increase in November and broadly matching expectations for a 1.5% fall. The reading marked the steepest monthly contraction since April 2025, snapping a three-month streak of gains, driven by lower output of capital goods (-1.9% compared with +2.6% in November), as well as decreases in energy (-0.3%), non-durable consumer goods (-0.3%), and intermediate goods (-0.1%). In contrast, production of durable consumer goods edged up 0.2%, rebounding from a 1.8% drop in the previous month. On an annual basis, industrial production growth slowed to 1.2% in December from 2.2% in November, slightly below forecasts of 1.3%. For 2025 as a whole, industrial output rose by 1.5%.
