Latest Updates

Industrial production in the UK rose by 1.1% month-over-month in October 2025, rebounding from a 2% decline in September and above market forecasts of a 0.7% gain. It marked the strongest monthly growth since February, as output recovered in the manufacturing subsector (0.5% vs -1.7% in September), particularly in the manufacture of transport equipment (3.6% vs -13.8%), machinery (4.4% vs -1.6%), and other manufacturing repair (2.8% vs 1.1%). Despite a rebound in motor vehicle, output remains almost 22% below August levels, as the fallout from Jaguar Land Rover’s earlier cyber-attack continues to weigh on production. Overall output was also supported by rebounds in mining and quarrying (4.3% vs -3.4%), electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (2.1% vs -3.4%), and water supply, sewerage, and waste management (1.5% vs -0.7%). On a yearly basis, industrial production fell 0.8%, easing from a 2.5% decline in the previous month and better than market expectations of a 1.2% drop.
