South Korea’s industrial production rose 2.4% month-over-month in August 2025, the strongest pace in five months, quickening from a revised 0.3% gain in July and easily surpassing market forecasts of a 0.4% increase. The rebound was driven mainly by higher output in semiconductors, automobiles, and electronic components, reflecting resilience in the country’s export-oriented sectors despite global demand uncertainties. On an annual basis, however, industrial output grew just 0.9% in August, easing sharply from a 5% surge in July and falling short of expectations for a 1.3% rise.
