Industrial production in Hungary grew by 1.8% year-on-year in December 2025, rebounding from a 5.4% decline in the previous month, according to preliminary estimates. This marked the first growth in industrial activity since February 2024, driven by notable increases in production volumes across most of the manufacturing sub-sectors. Among the most important sub-sectors, vehicle manufacturing and food, beverage and tobacco products expanded slightly, while computer, electronic and optical product manufacturing and electrical equipment manufacturing recorded significant growth. On a seasonally and working-day adjusted monthly basis, industrial output rose by 0.9% compared with the previous month, recovering from a 2% decrease in November. For the full year of 2025, the volume of industrial production was 3.2% lower than in 2024.
