Spain’s industrial production fell by 0.3% year-on-year in December 2025, the first decrease since February 2025, after an upwardly revised 4.6% rise in the prior month.
The pullback was driven by declines in durable consumer goods (-2% vs -3.3% in November); intermediate goods (-1.6% vs 3.2%) and capital goods (-0.8% vs 1.5%).
At the same time, output growth slowed for energy (3.9% vs 7.4%) and non-durable consumer goods (0.8% vs 3.8%).
On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial activity shrank by 2.5% in December, following an upwardly revised 1.1% rise the month before.
For the year 2025 as a whole, Spanish industrial production grew by an average of 1.3%.
