BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 13. Trading
Economics, an international online analytics platform, has released
its latest forecast on industrial production in Georgia.
Data obtained by Trend from Trading Economics indicates that industrial
production in Georgia is expected to stand at 2.9% by the end of
the current quarter.
According to Trading Economics, citing data from the National
Statistics Service of Georgia (GeoStat), the country’s industrial
output increased by 3.9% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to
the same period in the previous year, reflecting a deceleration
from the robust 9.3% growth recorded in the preceding quarter.
This slowdown was observed across several key sectors, including
manufacturing, which grew by 2.1% in Q3, a marked decline from the
7.6% expansion in Q2. Notably, the production of beverages (-4.9%),
tobacco products (-13.1%), apparel (-2.1%), and leather goods
(-29.6%) contracted, although these declines were partially
mitigated by significant gains in food production (+16%) and
textiles (+14.6%).
The report further highlights a deceleration in mining and
quarrying, with growth slowing to 19% from 34.9%, attributed to
reduced oil and natural gas extraction. Similarly, the water
supply, sewerage, waste management, and land restoration sectors
experienced a slowdown, with growth dropping to 5.9% from
10.4%.
“Additionally, growth in the production of electricity, gas,
steam, and air conditioning accelerated, rising by 5.4% compared to
4.2% earlier. Every quarter, industrial production increased by
3.9%, slowing from the previous period’s 15.7% expansion,” the
information adds.
