Abstract

In Q4 2025, the Manufacturing Business Survey Index (BSI) rebounded on a quarter-on-quarter basis, with the business conditions index at 84 and the sales index at 86. The outlook BSI for Q1 2026 also showed a modest improvement, with the business conditions and sales indices rising to 91 and 93, respectively. In Q4 2025, sales conditions improved across most industries, including wireless communication equipment, while the Q1 2026 outlook strengthened mainly in the machinery and materials sectors. The annual outlook BSI for 2026 indicates manufacturing sales expectations of 95, with new industries, large companies, and the biotech and health care segments expected to record indices above 100.
