Germany’s industrial production fell sharply by 4.3% month-on-month in August 2025, mainly due to a steep 18.5% drop in automotive output, which was affected by factory holidays and production adjustments.
Output in machinery (-6.2%), pharmaceuticals (-10.3%), and electronics (-6.1%) also weighed heavily on the overall result. Production in energy-intensive industries was a rare bright spot, rising 0.2% from July. Overall, industrial output excluding energy and construction declined 5.6%, with investment goods production down nearly 10%.
