According to the latest data, Germany's industrial production index at the beginning of the third quarter of 2026 fell sharply to 82.8 from the previous value of 94.1. External institutional consensus indicates an actual seasonally adjusted decline of approximately 1.1% to 1.2%, primarily driven by the traditional summer break shutdowns in the automotive industry and the drag of extreme weather conditions. Looking ahead, driven by AI infrastructure development and the resumption of work at auto plants, short-term output is expected to experience a strong rebound.
