20.02.202609:30:00UTC+00UK Manufacturing Momentum Edges Higher as S&P Global PMI Rises to 52.0 in February

The United Kingdom’s manufacturing sector extended its expansionary run in February, with the S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) inching up to 52.0. This follows a reading of 51.8 in January 2026, signaling a modest but continued improvement in industrial activity.

A PMI reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector, and the move from 51.8 to 52.0 suggests that conditions improved slightly month on month. While the gain is incremental, it reinforces the view that UK factories are on a stabilizing trajectory after previous periods of volatility.

The latest data, updated on 20 February 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers for confirmation that the sector’s recovery can be sustained in the months ahead, as manufacturing remains a key barometer of broader economic health.
