Eurozone Industrial Output Growth Accelerates in March 2025

Brussels, 15 May (ONA) --- Eurozone industrial output growth more than doubled in March 2025 driven by increases in capital and durable consumer goods production, data from Eurostat showed today.

Industrial production increased 2.6% on a monthly basis, following a monthly growth of 1.1% in February 2025.

Output was expected to climb 1.7%. The increase was largely driven by the rebound in durable consumer goods output, with production rising 3.1% following a 2.0% fall.

Capital goods output advanced at a faster pace of 3.2% after rising 0.8%.

Growth in non-durable goods production improved to 2.3% from 2.1% and intermediate goods output growth held steady at 0.6%.

However, energy production declined 0.5%.

Year-on-year, industrial production logged an increase of 3.6% after rising 1.0% in February 2025.

This was also better than forecast of 2.5%.
