2026.03.1307:00:00UTC+00UK Manufacturing Production Returns to Growth in January After December Contraction

United Kingdom manufacturing production edged back into positive territory in January 2026, rising 0.1% month-over-month after a 0.5% decline in December 2025, according to data updated on 13 March 2026.

The modest uptick marks a tentative stabilization in the sector following the previous month’s contraction. On a month-over-month basis, the latest “actual” figure compares the change in January 2026 to December 2025, while the “previous” reading captured December’s performance relative to November 2025.

Although the January increase is slight, the move from -0.5% to 0.1% suggests that the worst of the recent monthly downturn may have eased, offering a cautiously positive signal for the UK’s industrial outlook at the start of 2026.
