2026.01.2809:00:00UTC+00Austrian Manufacturing Sector Struggles: January PMI Falls to 47.2

Austria’s manufacturing sector has shown signs of contraction as the Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI for January 2026 dropped to 47.2 from December's 49.3. The latest data, updated on January 28, 2026, highlights growing challenges within Austria's industrial activities.

The PMI, which stands for Purchasing Managers' Index, is a critical economic indicator that provides insight into business conditions in the manufacturing sector. A reading above 50.0 indicates expansion, while below 50.0 suggests a contraction. The latest figure of 47.2 marks continued contraction, reflecting a decrease in new orders and weakened output.

This decline in the PMI underlines factors such as slowing demand and potential supply chain disruptions that have adversely impacted manufacturing outputs. Economists and industry experts are closely watching these numbers as they might signal further challenges for the Austrian economy if negative trends persist in the coming months. As the global economic landscape remains tumultuous, Austria's manufacturing sector faces an uphill battle to regain stability and growth.
