Mumbai, Aug. 29 -- Japan's industrial production fell 1.6% month-on-month in July 2025, reversing June's 2.1% rise and marking the sharpest decline since November 2024. The downturn was driven by weaker demand, US trade uncertainty, and pressure on core industries. Motor vehicle output slumped 6.7%, while production machinery fell 6.2% and business-oriented machinery declined 4.5%. On a yearly basis, output contracted 0.9%, swinging from June's robust 4.4% growth, the strongest since September 2022.
