Italy’s industrial sector showed fresh signs of momentum at the end of 2025, as industrial sales returned to growth in December after a slight decline in the previous month.
According to data updated on 27 February 2026, industrial sales rose 0.50% month-over-month in December 2025. This marks a clear turnaround from November 2025, when the indicator had slipped by 0.10% compared with October. The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, measuring how activity in each reported month changes relative to the immediately preceding one.
The December uptick suggests a modest but positive shift in demand for Italian industrial goods heading into the new year, reversing the soft patch seen in November and potentially signaling improving conditions for manufacturers.
