Industrial production in Estonia grew by 5.9% year-on-year in January 2026, accelerating from a slightly upwardly revised 1.8% rise in the previous month. This marked the fastest growth since April last year, driven by output growth in all three industrial sectors. Volume of manufacturing production (3.1% vs 1.8% in December 2025) increased for the third month in a row, mainly due to increases in the production of wood processing and metal products, the shares of which are among the largest in the sector. Additionally, the energy sector climbed 21.7%, rebounding from a 6.5% drop in the prior month, driven by higher volumes of electricity sold, both for end-use to companies and institutions and to household consumers. Mining and quarrying also continued to rise, although at a sharply slower pace (10.7% vs 66.4%). On a monthly basis, industrial activity declined by 0.9% in January, the same pace as in the preceding period.
