In contrast, the reading for electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning improved in August (-0.6% vs -7.6% in July).

Panelist insight: Commenting on the outlook, ING’s Paolo Pizzoli stated: “We are currently lacking a clear domestic driver for industrial activity, and hopes rest on the potential pull from the implementation of the fiscal stimulus in Germany, which might materialise with a delay. It now seems likely that industry might have acted as a drag on growth over the third quarter of 2025, once more leaving the onus of growth on services, as suggested by the relevant PMI indices.”
