Seasonally adjusted industrial production returned to monthly growth in Ireland in October, data published by the Central Statistics Office showed Tuesday.
The country’s industrial output climbed 3.2% monthly in October, after an 11% contraction the CSO had reported for September. On-year growth decelerated to 9.2% in October from 9.4% in September.
Unadjusted, monthly growth slowed to 1.9% in October from 9.8% in September, while annual growth accelerated to 8.6% from 6.3%.
Gregg Patrick, CSO statistician in the Enterprise Statistics division said: ‘The highly globalised modern sector, which includes the chemical, pharmaceutical, and computer & electronic sectors, experienced an annual growth of 18% in industrial production from August 2025 to October 2025 when compared with the same period in 2024. In contrast, annual production in the traditional sector decreased by 3.4% annually over the same three-month period.’
