In July 2025, Estonia experienced a modest increase in industrial production, which rose by 0.7% compared to the same month the previous year. This represents a slowdown from the revised 4.1% growth recorded in June. The deceleration was primarily attributed to a reduced expansion in manufacturing output, which grew by 3.5% compared to 7.2% in the previous month. Notably, production in fabricated metal products (excluding machinery and equipment) grew by just 1.9% compared to a significant 10.2% increase in June, and computer, electronic, and optical products increased by 7.6% compared to 8% previously. Conversely, the sectors producing electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply continued to decline, contracting by 29.1%, following an 8.9% decrease in June. In the mining and quarrying sector, output also fell but at a more moderate rate of 8.7%, compared to a steep 33.5% decline previously. On a month-to-month basis, industrial production decreased by 5.4% in July, following a revised 1.4% decline in the preceding period.
