FX.co ★ Italian Industrial Sales Slide Eases in November, Pointing to Tentative Stabilisation

Italy’s industrial sales decline moderated in November 2025, suggesting tentative signs of stabilisation in the manufacturing and industrial sectors after a sharper setback a month earlier.

Month-over-month data show industrial sales down 0.10% in November 2025, an improvement from October’s 0.60% contraction. The figures, updated on 29 January 2026, indicate that while demand remains under pressure, the pace of deterioration has slowed compared with the previous month.

The month-on-month comparison measures how industrial sales changed in a given month relative to the previous one, with October’s -0.60% reflecting a steeper drop versus September, and November’s -0.10% pointing to a milder pullback from October levels. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to see whether November’s softer decline marks the start of a more sustained stabilisation in Italy’s industrial sector.
