FX.co ★ Israel’s Industrial Output Swings from Strong Growth to Sharp Contraction in December

Israel’s industrial sector recorded a steep month-over-month decline in December 2025, with industrial output falling by 4.3%, according to data updated on 26 February 2026. The drop marks a sharp reversal from November 2025, when output had grown by 7.2% compared with the previous month.

The figures, based on a month-over-month comparison, highlight heightened volatility in industrial activity at the end of 2025. While November’s strong expansion suggested robust momentum, December’s contraction erased a significant portion of those gains and may point to emerging weakness or normalization after a surge. Analysts and market participants are likely to watch upcoming releases closely for signs of whether this downturn represents a short-term correction or the beginning of a broader slowdown in Israel’s industrial performance.
