In a sign of renewed momentum, South Korea's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) has climbed above the critical 50.0 mark, reaching 50.1 in December 2025. This comes after November's reading of 49.4, indicating a contraction in the manufacturing sector. The latest data, updated on January 2, 2026, signals a potential shift in economic sentiment within the nation’s industrial landscape.

The PMI is a crucial barometer of economic health in the manufacturing sector, with a reading above 50.0 indicating expansion. This move into positive territory reflects improvements in industry activity, as businesses in South Korea gear up for the start of the new year with renewed optimism.

South Korea's rebound is attributed to a variety of factors, including increased demand for electronics and automotive parts, two of its key export sectors. This upturn offers a positive outlook for investors and policymakers alike as they navigate an increasingly uncertain global economy. The latest PMI figures provide a critical piece of evidence that the South Korean manufacturing sector could be stabilizing and possibly entering a phase of growth after a challenging period.
