2026.09.1011:00:00UTC+00South Africa’s Manufacturing Output Accelerates 2.2% in July, Up from 0.9% in June

South Africa’s manufacturing sector strengthened in July 2026, with production rising 2.2% month-over-month, up from a revised 0.9% increase in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 10 September 2026, points to a clear acceleration in industrial activity.

The figures are based on month-over-month comparisons, where the current “actual” reading reflects the change in July versus June, while the “previous” reading shows June’s change relative to May. The step-up from 0.9% to 2.2% suggests improving momentum in manufacturing output as the third quarter begins, potentially offering some support to broader economic performance if the trend is sustained.

Analysts and market participants will now watch upcoming releases to determine whether July’s gain represents the start of a more durable upswing in South Africa’s manufacturing sector or a short-term rebound following more modest growth in June.
