In Hungary, the HALPIM (Hungarian Association of Logistics, Purchasing and Inventory Management) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of executive managers in charge of purchasing at manufacturing enterprises. The Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Production (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Inventories (10 percent). A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.

Latest Updates

Hungary’s seasonally adjusted manufacturing PMI rose to 53.4 in November 2025 from a revised 51.2 in October, signaling the strongest expansion in the country’s factory activity since May 2023. Growth was broad-based, with both new orders and production rising, while employment returned to expansion with the index above 50. Purchase prices increased, reflecting higher input costs, and both export and import indices showed expansion. Most index components improved from October, marking a continued recovery after summer contractions. The November reading also exceeded the three-year average for the month of 50.9, highlighting a rebound in manufacturing compared with past periods of slower growth and inflationary pressures.
