The strongest contribution came from intermediate-goods producers, including chemicals, metals, electrical equipment and electronic components.
But the headline improvement masks a growing divide across Europe.
Germany led the recovery, with PMI climbing from 52.2 to 54.3, supported by stronger export demand.
France returned to growth at 51.1, up from 49.8.
Romania improved to 51.1, with purchasing activity rising at the fastest pace in the survey’s history.
At the other end of the spectrum:
— Italy fell from 51.3 to 49.6, moving back into contraction;
— Spain dropped to 49.5, with output declining at the fastest pace since late 2023;
— Poland remained the weakest market at 48.3, extending its downturn to 16 consecutive months;
— the UK stayed in expansion territory at 51.7, although that was a five-month low.
For logistics and freight markets, the picture is mixed.
Stronger industrial activity in parts of Europe could support freight demand, but the recovery is far from uniform. High operating costs, supply chain disruption and weak manufacturing conditions in several major markets continue to limit momentum.
Europe’s industrial recovery is gaining traction — but it is still highly fragmented.
