BERLIN, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- Germany's industrial production fell 1.2 percent year-on-year in the first 11 months of 2025, official data showed Friday, putting Europe's largest economy on track for a fourth consecutive annual decline in industrial output.
The weakness was driven largely by the automotive sector, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) said. German industrial production declined in both 2023 and 2024, saw a modest rebound in the first half of 2025, but weakened again in the second half as car output fell, it noted.
