Global manufacturing output showed signs of a significant acceleration during the second quarter of 2024. Indeed, global output increased by 1 per cent in quarter-over-quarter comparison, following a stalled production in the previous quarter.

Global production remained stationary during the first quarter of 2024, further extending the lukewarm performance registered since the second half of 2022. In the previous quarter, it recorded a moderate growth of 0.9 per cent.

On a more detailed level, industrializing economies have been able to increase their production level over the past years and reached a quarter-over-quarter output growth of 1.4 per cent, leaving behind industrial economies. The latter reported a stalled performance in the current quarter.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new UNIDO Statistics Portal, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and user-friendly access to industrial statistics.
