EU service sector performance has been striking since early 2020. Over the five-and-a-half-year stretch from February 2020 through October 2025, service production expanded a robust 16.4%. Meanwhile, industrial output climbed 2.3%, though gains elsewhere remained modest—trade inched forward 0.1% while construction ticked up just 0.2%. These figures paint a picture of selective recovery across different economic segments, with services clearly leading the charge. For anyone tracking macroeconomic cycles and their influence on risk appetite, these EU metrics offer useful context on regional growth momentum heading into late 2025.
