Market Forecast

Europe Industrial Production Forecast results were 1.1% above the forecast range in June. Despite renewed health and safety lockdowns in several European countries, our projections suggested Production would be above forecast range in the coming quarters. We revised the forecast upward by 7.0% and 9.1% for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Annual Production will decline into 2021 and then rise through at least the end of that year. Longer term, we expect aging demographics to hinder Western Europe’s recovery. This will keep Production relatively low through at least 2021.

Europe Automotive Production during the three months through August was down 24.4% compared to the same three months of 2019. Our projections suggest Production may trend along the upper end of the forecast range in the near term. Renewed shutdowns may hinder this upside potential in the coming quarters.
