Industrial production in Hungary rose 6.7% year-on-year in March 2026, matching preliminary estimates and rebounding sharply from a downwardly revised 0.9% decline in the previous month. It marked the strongest annual growth since September 2022, driven by broad-based gains across most manufacturing industries (7% vs -0.3% in February), which account for roughly 95% of total industrial output. Production mainly increased for computer, electronic and optical products (21.9% vs 24.6%) and machinery and equipment (20.3% vs 0.8%). In addition, output in mining and quarrying as well as electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply rebounded by 7.5% and 2.3%, respectively, following four consecutive months of decline. On a seasonally and working-day-adjusted basis, industrial output increased by 3.1%, after a 1.8% drop in February. Over the first three months of the year, industrial activity was 1% higher than in the same period last year.
