Eurozone manufacturing lost further momentum at the end of 2025, with December PMI readings signalling a deeper contraction in both output and new orders. The survey showed a broad slowdown across the region, with Germany suffering the largest deterioration and posting its weakest PMI result in ten months.

The weakness in Germany, Europe’s biggest industrial economy, pulled the eurozone manufacturing PMI lower overall, reinforcing signs that the industrial sector entered the new year under strain. The December readings pointed to falling production and softer demand from clients.

The data underline ongoing headwinds for eurozone industry as 2026 begins, highlighting challenges in restoring growth in factory activity and orders. #Eurozone #PMI #Germany #Manufacturing #FiatNews
