Switzerland's manufacturing sector exhibited signs of resilience in November as the procure.ch Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) reported an increase, according to the latest data released on December 4, 2025. The index rose to 49.7, up from 48.2 in the previous report, signaling a movement towards economic recovery in the manufacturing industry.

This uptick, though still below the threshold of 50 that indicates expansion, suggests that the sector is gradually stabilizing after a period of contraction. The improvement points to growing confidence among manufacturers and indicates a potential reversal in trend as Switzerland navigates the challenges posed by global economic uncertainties.

Economists and industry players are optimistic about the implications of this latest development. A rise in the PMI could signify increased demand, better manufacturing conditions, and a revitalization of the industrial workforce. As the European economy continues to adapt to ongoing economic fluctuations, Switzerland's gradual climb in manufacturing activity offers a beacon of cautious hope for the days ahead.
