S&P Global announced that, after seasonal adjustment, Germany's S&P Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) final reading for April was revised upward to 51.4, easing from the 46-month high of 52.2 recorded in March, but still above the market forecast confirming the flash estimate of 51.2. Output and new orders expanded for a fourth consecutive month, though both grew at a slower pace than in March.

Growth in new orders was mainly driven by the intermediate goods sector, while demand in the consumer goods sector declined significantly. Customers continued to bring forward purchases to avoid rising prices and supply shortages, supporting demand and production. However, some companies reported that prices were already at elevated levels and uncertainty was increasing, weighing on demand. After input cost inflation accelerated to a record pace in March, the increase widened further in April to the highest level since September 2022. Output price inflation also quickened, reaching a new high since January 2023.

Supplier delivery delays were the most severe since June 2022, reflecting logistics issues and supply-demand imbalances. Manufacturers increased purchasing activity, but growth slowed from March and remained modest. Employment recorded a marked contraction for several consecutive months, while backlogs of work were broadly unchanged from the previous month.

Notably, the proportion of manufacturers expecting output to decline over the next year exceeded those anticipating growth for the first time in 18 months, indicating that industry confidence has continued to deteriorate from the four-year high reached in February (before the Middle East conflict).
