Industry Figures
Industrial production in the national public sector recorded an increase of 6.3% in the second quarter of 2025, better than that recorded during the same period of 2024 (3.8%), indicated the National Statistics Office (ONS), which noted that almost all sectors contributed to this trend.
According to a press release from the Office, “the energy sector shows an increase of 9.2% close to that observed in the same period of the previous year (10.2%)”, specifying that after four quarters marked by stability and moderate declines, the hydrocarbons sector “displays a positive variation of 1.5% in the second quarter of 2025. This improvement results, mainly, from the crude oil and natural gas production branch (+3.0%) and from the refining branch (+6.2%)”.
For the mining and quarrying sector, a rebound in production was noted during this second quarter of the current year, reaching a rate of 1.2% compared to a drop of 3.7% observed in the previous quarter, after an upward trend defining the year 2023 and the year 2024. Same trend for construction materials which recorded a “remarkable increase of 16.7%” during the same period, thus confirming the performances observed from the first quarter of 2024, indicates the ONS.
The chemical industries, for their part, have recovered and “display a positive variation of 2.5% compared to a drop of 11.1% recorded in the previous quarter, according to data from the Office which specifies that the leather and wood sectors “continue to progress and display respective rates of +40.7% and 131.6%, well beyond those recorded in the previous quarter, +13.7% and +91.1%, respectively”.
On the other hand, declines were recorded in the rest of the sectors of a smaller magnitude than those recorded in the previous quarter: The ISMMEE sector (steel, metal, mechanical, electrical and electronic industries) posted a rate of -1.8%, the agro-food sector (-4.7%) and textiles (-10.4%), adds the press release.
