Latest Updates

Industrial production in the UK rose by 1.1% month-on-month in November 2025, easily beating market expectations of a 0.1% increase, though easing slightly from an upwardly revised eight-month high of 1.3% in the prior month. Output declined in mining and quarrying (-2.5% vs 4.4% in October), electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (-0.5% vs 4.1%), and water supply, sewerage and waste management (-0.6% vs 1.4%). In contrast, manufacturing output climbed to 2.1% from 0.4% in October, driven in part by a recovery in output at Jaguar Land Rover after a cyberattack weighed on production earlier in the autumn. Notably, output accelerated in the manufacture of transport equipment (10.7% vs 3.9%) and basic metals and metal products (2.5% vs 0.3%). On a yearly basis, industrial production jumped to 2.3% in November from an upwardly revised 0.4% gain in the previous month, defying market expectations of a 0.4% decline. This marked the strongest annual reading since June 2021.
