The Greek manufacturing sector started 2026 on a positive trajectory, driven by faster growth in output and new orders, according to the latest S&P Global PMI® data.
The performance was also supported by continued employment growth. Strong demand conditions contributed to further increases in input markets and more optimistic expectations regarding the production outlook for the coming year. However, supply chain difficulties continued into the new year, as input delivery times lengthened significantly, leading to a reduction in companies’ inventories.
Supply chain challenges led, in part, to higher input costs, while higher metal prices were also reported.
Closing at 54.2 points in January, the seasonally adjusted S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI) for the manufacturing sector in Greece stood higher than the 52.9 points in December 2025 and indicated the sharpest improvement in operating conditions since last August, an increase that remained well above its historical trend.
Strongest improvement in 5 months
The overall growth was driven by the fastest increase in production levels recorded at Greek manufacturers’ facilities in a five-month period in January. According to reports, the production increase was supported by higher levels of confidence among customers and an increase in new orders.
