Japan final manufacturing PMI for June 2025 50.1
- flash 50.4, prior 49.4
Japan’s manufacturing sector grew in June for the first time in 13 months:
-
New orders fell for the 25th straight month, and export orders remained in a prolonged slump, with companies citing U.S. tariff uncertainty, especially in semiconductors and autos, as a key drag on sales.
-
Despite this, manufacturers became more optimistic, lifting future output expectations to a five-month high and adding staff for the seventh month in a row.
-
Input and output prices both rose, reflecting higher costs for raw materials, energy, and labour.
