US Manufacturing Output Rises Most in 11 Months in World Economy News 19/02/2026 Manufacturing output in the United States rose 0.6% in January 2026, the most since February 2025 and more than market expectations of 0.4%. Durable manufacturing output increased 0.8%, with gains in nearly all component industries, including increases of at least 1% in the production of nonmetallic mineral products, machinery, computer and electronic products, miscellaneous durable goods, and motor vehicles and parts, which increased for the first time since August 2025. Nondurable manufacturing output rose 0.4%, with mixed results among component industries: Gains in the production of paper, printing and support, chemicals, and plastics and rubber products more than offset declines in the remaining industries. Capacity utilization for manufacturing increased 0.4 percentage point in January to 75.6%, a rate that is 2.6 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2025) average.
