Industrial production in the Czech Republic rose by 6.2% year-on-year in September 2026, picking up from a three-month low of 2.6% in the previous month.

This marked the highest reading since September 2022, as manufacturing output increased to 5% from 2.7% in August, led by stronger growth in the manufacture of food products (6% vs 3.4%), beverages (15.5% vs 5%), and chemicals and chemical products (6.3% vs 2%).

Overall output was also supported by a rebound in mining and quarrying (7% vs -0.1%) and a sharp acceleration in electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply (20.9% vs 2%).

On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output jumped by 2.7%, reaching its highest level in nearly three years, compared with 0.3% in August.

During the first nine months of the year, industrial production increased by 2.6% compared with the corresponding period a year earlier.

Czech Industrial Output Eases in July
Industrial production in the Czech Republic rose 3.1% year-on-year in July 2026, slowing from a downwardly revised six-month high of 3.8% in the previous month.

Meanwhile, manufacturing output edged up to 2.6% from 2.5% in June, supported by rebounds in textiles (5.7% vs -2.9%), wood and wood products excluding furniture (2.0% vs -8.1%), and printing and reproduction of recorded media (7.2% vs -4.9%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output fell 1.1% in July, reversing an upwardly revised 1.4% gain in the previous month. For the first seven months of 2026, industrial production was up 2.0% from the same period a year earlier.
