UK manufacturers faced renewed weakness in August as factory activity slowed and new orders declined, according to the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI).
The survey revealed shrinking demand both at home and abroad, with firms citing weaker consumer confidence and tighter financing conditions as key drags. Export demand also softened, reflecting sluggish global trade and uncertainty in major markets.
Analysts warned the downturn highlights ongoing challenges for the UK’s manufacturing sector, which has struggled to regain momentum amid high costs and weaker investment. While some firms reported easing supply chain pressures, overall sentiment remained cautious as new orders contracted, pointing to further headwinds ahead.
