2026.04.1602:00:00UTC+00China’s Industrial Output Growth Cools to 5.7% in March, Easing From February’s 6.3%

China’s industrial production growth slowed in March 2026, with output rising 5.7% year-over-year, down from a 6.3% increase recorded in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 16 April 2026, indicate a moderation in the pace of expansion in the country’s industrial sector.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier. While the March figure still reflects solid industrial activity, the easing from February suggests that momentum in China’s factory output may be stabilizing after a stronger start to the year. Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to assess whether this deceleration is temporary or signals a more sustained cooling in industrial growth.
