Manufacturing production in Hong Kong grew 5.7% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, accelerating from a downwardly revised 5.3% rise in the previous three-month period. It marked the fastest pace of growth since the fourth quarter of 2021, mainly driven by higher output in the manufacture of food, beverages, and tobacco (3.2% vs 2.5% in Q3), metal, computer, electronic, and optical products, machinery and equipment (6.9% vs 6%), and miscellaneous manufacturing industries (9.4% vs 9.1%). In addition, manufacturing of textiles and wearing apparel (-4.7% vs -5.2%) declined at a softer pace. On the other hand, output slipped for the manufacture of paper products, printing, and reproduction of recorded media (-0.2% vs 1.2%). On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, manufacturing production eased to 1.3% from 4.5% in the third quarter of 2025.
