In Sweden, the Swedbank Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 200 purchasing managers in the manufacturing industry. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. 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

Sweden’s Swedbank Manufacturing PMI fell to 51.9 in June 2025 from 53.1 in May, marking the lowest reading since September 2024 and signaling a further loss of momentum in the sector. The slowdown was primarily driven by a sharp drop in order intake, which fell below the neutral 50 threshold to 49 from 50.6 in May, indicating contracting demand. Production growth also lost pace, with the sub-index easing to 55.9 from 58.8. Employment expansion softened as well, with the index slipping to 52.2 from 53.5. Meanwhile, delivery times shortened slightly (50.3 vs 50.9), suggesting easing supply chain pressures, and inventory levels declined (47.8 vs 50.9), possibly reflecting weaker restocking efforts amid ongoing economic uncertainty. On the price front, input cost pressures remained subdued, as the index for suppliers’ raw material and input prices edged up to 50.3 from 49.8, pointing to broadly stable costs.
