The S&P Global Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose to 51.6 in March 2026, up from both the preliminary estimate of 51.4 and February’s 50.8. This marks the strongest expansion in the sector since June 2022, amid a considerable supply-side disruption as the war in the Middle East disrupted global logistics markets. Output growth hit a seven-month high, while new orders matched February’s 46-month record, though the increase remained modest. New export orders stabilized, ending an eight-month decline, and backlogs of work expanded—the first sign of capacity pressures since mid-2022. However, employment continued to decline. On pricing, input cost inflation reached its highest level since October 2022, and factory gate prices rose at the fastest pace in over three years. Meanwhile, business confidence weakened in March, weighed down by ongoing Middle East tensions.
