Royaume-Uni Production Manufacturière (Mensuelle)

Manufacturing production in the UK rose by 0.5% month-on-month in October 2025, rebounding from a 1.7% fall in September but missing market expectations of a 1.0% gain. The recovery was largely driven by increases in six of the thirteen manufacturing subsectors, with the largest positive contributions coming from the manufacture of transport equipment (3.6% vs -13.8%), supported by growth in motor vehicles (9.5%), machinery (4.4%), and other manufacturing and repair (2.8%). However, despite a rebound in motor vehicle manufacturing, output remains nearly 22% below August levels, as the effects of the earlier cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover continue to be evident. Meanwhile, output slipped in the manufacture of food, beverages, and tobacco (-0.5% vs 0.2%) and computer, electronic, and optical products (-3.5% vs 4.6%). On a yearly basis, manufacturing activity declined 0.8% in October, improving from a 2.2% drop in September but worse than market expectations of a 0.1% decline.
