Istat data December 2024: Industrial production down for 23 consecutive months

The data released today by Istat depict a complex picture for the Italian industry: December 2024 marks a further decline in industrial production, with -7.1% compared to the same month of the previous year.
Overall, 2024 closes with an average decrease of 3.5%, continuing a slowdown phase that has now lasted for 23 consecutive months.

🏭 A challenging year for almost all sectors

The only segment showing slight growth is the food, beverage, and tobacco industries, which recorded a +1.8% annual increase.
All other manufacturing sectors experienced significant declines, with double-digit drops in the manufacturing of transport equipment (automotive sector) and the textile, clothing, leather, and accessories industries (fashion sector).

⚙️ A context that demands resilience and innovation

This scenario highlights the urgency for manufacturing companies to strengthen production resilience and invest in advanced maintenance technologies, digitalization, and regeneration services in a circular economy perspective.
Operational continuity has become a strategic priority to face unstable economic cycles and reduce costs arising from plant downtime or inefficiencies.
