Belgium’s industrial production edged down 0.1% year-on-year in July 2025, reversing from a downwardly revised 2.7% growth in the previous month. The contraction was mainly driven by a further decline in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply (-8.5% vs -5.8%), coupled with slower growth in manufacturing output (+0.8% vs +3.6%). In contrast, mining and quarrying production rebounded (+0.1% vs -1.3%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial production rose 1.1% in July, slowing from a 5.2% increase in June.
