Industrial production in Austria rose by 1.1% year-on-year in February 2026, accelerating from a 0.3% increase in the previous month.

Within main industrial groupings, production increased notably for consumer durable goods (16.2% vs 23.1%), energy (8.3% vs -0.6%), and intermediate goods (0.9% vs 2.1%).

Meanwhile, output contracted for capital goods (-0.3% vs 1.8%) and consumer non-durable goods (-3.9% vs 1.8%).

On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output grew by 0.1% in February, slowing from a 0.6% gain in the preceding period.
