Germany Factory Growth Revised Up: PMI

2026-07-01 08:23 By Joana Taborda 1 min. read

The S&P Global Germany Manufacturing PMI was revised higher to 50.3 in June 2026 from a preliminary of 50, pointing to small growth in factory activity, compared to 50.1 in the previous month.

There was a modest rise in output that was supported by a slight uptick in demand, while goods producers were a little more optimistic about the outlook.

In addition, reports of delays and cost pressures both eased from the recent highs but firms continued to face substantial disruption across supply chains and a steep rate of input price inflation, both principally linked to the fallout from the war in the Middle East.

"On the whole, it was a slightly more positive set of results for the German manufacturing sector in June than we saw the month before", according to Phil Smith, Economics Associate Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence .

Germany Manufacturing PMI Revised Slightly Up
Germany’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI was revised higher to 50.1 in May 2026 from a preliminary of 49.9, continuing to point to nearly stabilization in the manufacturing sector, as uncertainty and soaring costs associated with the war in the Middle East acted as headwinds to demand. It is also the lowest reading in four months, with goods producers recording a fall in new orders for the first time in 2026 so far, whilst also facing the biggest price increase since June 2022. Also, output growth softened for the second month running and job cuts deepened. Meanwhile, business expectations remained relatively muted, although they did improve slightly from April's recent low.
