Suecia Capacidad de Utilización

Industries in Sweden operated at 88.8% of capacity in the third quarter of 2025, down 0.2 percentage points from an upwardly revised 89% in the previous quarter. The utilization level remained considerably below the full-capacity threshold of 100%, indicating that a significant portion of industrial resources continued to be underutilized. Among the factors contributing to lower capacity utilization, the most notable was insufficient demand, which accounted for the largest share of reasons cited by firms. This factor declined from 60.9% in the previous quarter to 57.8% in Q3. On an annual basis, and after adjusting for calendar effects, capacity utilization in Swedish industries increased by 1.7 percentage points compared with the same quarter in 2024, reaching 88.5%.
