Italy's industrial production fell by 0.4% month-on-month in December 2025, despite a 1.5% increase in November. Year-on-year, production rose 3.2%. Growth was driven by pharmaceuticals and electronics, while textiles, transport equipment, and chemicals reported declines.

The fourth quarter of 2025 saw a 0.9% increase in production from the previous quarter, contributing to a 0.3% GDP growth. A 0.7% carryover from 2025 is expected to help annual production growth exceed 1%. Continued growth is contingent on Germany's infrastructure and defense investments, with risks linked to potential delays.
