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 climbed to 54.2 in April 2025 from 53.6 in the previous month. This marked the ninth consecutive month that the index remained in the growth zone and the strongest reading since May 2022, mainly driven by continued expansion in new orders (55.8 vs 53.9 in March) and improved delivery times (50.4 vs 49.2). On the pricing front, the index for suppliers' raw material and input prices fell to a six-month low of 50.9 in April from 55.6 in the previous month, largely due to declining global commodity prices and a stronger krona. However, production (58.0 vs 59.2), employment (52.9 vs 53.0), and inventory stocks (51.6 vs 51.8) all exerted a slight drag on the PMI.
