Industrial production in Germany dropped 1.3% month-over-month in February 2025, following a 2% increase in January, coming more than market expectations of a 1.1% decline.

In contrast, a 3.3% increase in electrical equipment manufacturing positively impacted overall results. Meanwhile, production in energy-intensive industries fell by 0.6%.
