16.03.202613:15:00UTC+00U.S. Industrial Production Growth Cools to 1.40% in February, Easing from January Pace

U.S. industrial production growth slowed in February 2026, with output rising 1.40% year-over-year, compared with a 2.28% annual increase recorded in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 16 March 2026, indicate a moderation in the expansion of the industrial sector as the new year progresses.

Both the current and previous readings measure changes relative to the same month a year earlier, highlighting a clear loss of momentum from January to February. While production is still growing, the deceleration suggests that the post-pandemic rebound and earlier industrial strength may be giving way to a more measured pace of activity. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data closely to see whether this easing trend continues or stabilizes in the coming months.
