Lithuania’s industrial sector weakened further in May 2026, with industrial production falling 2.90% compared with the previous month, according to the latest data updated on 29 June 2026. The decline marks a sharper contraction than in April 2026, when output was already down 1.80% month-on-month.

The figures show a clear worsening in short-term momentum: while April’s reading reflected a moderate pullback versus March, May’s deeper drop underscores mounting pressure on Lithuania’s manufacturers and industrial producers. On a month-over-month basis, May’s performance indicates that industrial activity is not only failing to stabilize but is slipping further as the second quarter progresses.

The data are compiled on a month-on-month comparison basis, meaning the current indicator measures the change in May relative to April, while the previous indicator captured April’s change versus March. With back-to-back declines and an acceleration in the downturn, industrial production is set to be a key area of focus for analysts assessing Lithuania’s near-term economic outlook.
