The UniCredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell to 60.6 in October of 2021 from 62.8 in the previous month, pointing to the slowest expansion in factory activity since February. Output and new orders rose the least in nine months, amid reports of shortages of input materials, supply chain issues, price pressures and weaker demand, especially in the automotive sector. Stocks of finished goods rose for the first time in 16 months due to postponement or cancellation of orders by some customers, and due to deliberate safety stock building by some manufacturers. Meanwhile, the pace of factory job creation remained strong. On the price front, input price inflation was just below July's all-time high, while output prices increased the most on record as manufacturers passed higher input costs to customers. Looking ahead, manufacturers' expectations were the weakest since last November as they showed less optimism towards output for the coming year. source: Markit Economics

Production growth edged up for the first time in four months. New orders continue in an upturn, although the rate of growth was the lowest since February. Meanwhile, firms recorded a boost on production from an increased operating capacity. The stocks of inputs rose in an effort of goods producers to mitigate against supply disruption.

Austria Manufacturing PMI At 6-Month Low
The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell further to 61.8 in August of 2021 from 63.9 in the previous month, pointing to the slowest expansion in factory activity since February. New orders growth rate eased in August, down to the lowest in 6 months due to weaker growth in export sales. Production levels growth was also subdued this month amid supply bottlenecks of raw material and components. Low production level and low new order level led to the smallest rate of depletion of stocks of finished goods since March, although producers continued to use up the stocks to plug the gap between demand and supply. Meanwhile, imbalances between supply and demand kept both input costs and output prices elevated, although they eased from July's record highs. Looking forward, manufacturer’s expectations ticked up slightly since July and they have reported strong optimism for the coming year.
