United Kingdom Manufacturing PMI

The United Kingdom Manufacturing PMI rose to 49.6 in October 2025, the highest since October 2024. This marks a 7.4% increase from September 2025's 46.2. The rebound stems from eased price pressures, moderating cost growth and the restart of major industrial operations. Improved domestic and international market sentiment also aided the recovery from contraction. The United Kingdom's record low Manufacturing PMI was 43 in August 2023 and record high was 52.5 in August 2024.
