Georgia Industrial Output Growth Accelerates in Q4

Industrial production in Georgia grew by 22.2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, accelerating sharply from a 3.9% rise in the third quarter. This marked the strongest growth since the third quarter of 2022, driven by faster expansions across all sectors, namely mining and quarrying (39.3% vs 19.0% in Q3), manufacturing (22.1% vs 2.1%), electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (13.3% vs 5.4%), and water supply, sewage, waste management, and remediation services (10.3% vs 5.9%). On a quarterly basis, industrial output rose by 8.8%, following a 3.9% increase in the previous quarter.

Industrial production in Georgia increased by 3.9% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, easing from the sharp 9.3% advance recorded in the previous period. Output growth moderated across major sectors, including manufacturing (2.1% vs 7.6% in Q2), as the decline in manufacture of beverages (-4.9%), tobacco products (-13.1%), wearing apparel (-2.1%), and leather products (-29.6%) partially offset higher output for food products (+16%) and textiles (+14.6%). Activity also rose at a softer pace for mining and quarrying (19% vs 34.9%), due to a drop in extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas; and in water supply, sewage, waste management, and remediation services (5.9% vs 10.4%). In contrast, output gains accelerated in electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (5.4% vs 4.2%). On a quarterly basis, industrial output rose 3.9%, decelerating from the 15.7% jump recorded in the preceding period.

Industrial production in Georgia surged 9.3% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, accelerating from a 2.4% rise in the previous quarter. This marked the fastest pace of growth since the third quarter of 2024, supported by a rebound in output for manufacturing (7.6% vs -0.2% in Q1) and electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply (4.2% vs -4.1%), alongside an increase in water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation activities (10.4% vs 6.6%). On the other hand, expansion in mining and quarrying slowed markedly (34.9% vs 48.9%). On a quarterly basis, industrial output jumped 15.7%, rebounding sharply from a 6.5% drop in the first quarter.
