Industrial production in Sweden grew by 7.1% year-on-year in April 2026, accelerating from an upwardly revised 3.4% rise in the previous month. This marked the strongest growth in industrial activity since last September, driven largely by a rebound in mining output, which rose 2.3% after falling 6.4% in March, as metal ore mining returned to growth (0.6% vs -7.2%), while contractions in other mining and quarrying activities eased (-1.1% vs -1.2%). Additionally, manufacturing production climbed by 7.2% (vs 3.8%), marking its fastest rise in seven months, supported mainly by higher output for coke and refined petroleum products (18.9% vs 19.4%), chemical and pharmaceutical products (12.6% vs 20.8%), and other non-metallic mineral products (8.9% vs 1.9%). On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, industrial output rose by 4.2% in April, rebounding from a downwardly revised 1.6% drop in the preceding period. source: Statistics Sweden
