EU Industrial Production Slows in July 2026 Amid Consumer Goods Slump

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA
In July 2026, seasonally adjusted industrial production continued to lose momentum across Europe, falling by 0.1% in the euro area and 0.3% in the EU following downwardly revised 0.1% contractions in June. On an annual basis, output remained flat (0.0%) in the euro area and expanded by a modest 0.3% in the EU, revised down from earlier estimates. Across sectors, gains in energy (+4.0% euro area, +2.5% EU) and capital goods (+1.7% euro area, +2.4% EU) helped offset broad weakness, but a sharp monthly collapse in non-durable consumer goods (-1.6% euro area, -1.3% EU) weighed heavily on the headline numbers.



Performance varied considerably among individual member states. Month-over-month, the strongest output expansions occurred in Luxembourg (+4.5%), Croatia (+3.9%), and Ireland (+2.6%), while Denmark (-4.2%), Bulgaria (-2.9%), and Lithuania (-2.4%) registered the steepest cutbacks. Over the twelve months leading to July 2026, the Netherlands (+8.2%), Croatia (+7.2%), and Lithuania (+6.5%) recorded the most substantial annual growth, contrasting sharply with significant downturns in Bulgaria (-6.8%), Romania (-6.3%), and Belgium (-5.6%).
