Ireland was followed by Luxembourg and Sweden with 9.5 and 8.3% growths. The largest decrease occurred in Bulgaria (8.6%).
Based on calendar adjusted data the August 2025 production volume in industry was below the one year earlier level by 4.6% in Hungary1. Considering the Visegrad countries industrial performance grew by 2.4% in Poland, lessened by 1.3% in Czechia, and by 6.3% in Slovakia.
Industrial output decreased by 2.3% in Hungary and by 1.0% in the EU as a whole compared to the previous month. The performance of Germany, representing a large weight in the industrial production of the EU fell the most, by 5.2%.
Based on unadjusted data the volume of the August 2025 industrial production lagged behind the one year earlier level by 7.3% in Hungary. Production volume decreasedin the manufacturing subsections (between 1.4%–20.2%), except one, most of all in the manufacture of transport equipment. Among the two other large weight representing subsections the volume lessened by 3.3% in the food industry, while it grew by 17% in the electronics industry, year-on-year.
