Estonia’s industrial production increased by 3.4% year-on-year in November 2025, rebounding from an upwardly revised 1.2% decline in the previous month.

Output also accelerated in mining and quarrying sector (10% vs 5.4%).

In contrast, production declined for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (-8.7% vs 0.3%).

On a monthly basis, industrial activity rose by 6.0% in November, accelerating from a 2.4% gain in the preceding period.
