On a calendar-adjusted year-on-year basis, orders were still 2.7% higher than in August 2025. The monthly decline needs context: the preceding month had been unusually strong because of exceptionally large orders, so the headline comparison captures a sharp reversal in that lumpy flow as well as underlying demand.","With large-scale orders excluded, the monthly decline was only 0.1%. The less volatile three-month comparison showed orders in June to August 1.3% above the prior three months, while the series excluding large orders was 2.6% lower. July’s monthly increase was revised to 3.2% from the provisional 2.5%. These figures do not cancel one another out: each uses a different period or filters out large contracts. Together they show why a single monthly total can exaggerate the apparent change in the broader order pipeline.","The industry breakdown identifies the main source of volatility. Orders in the manufacture of other transport equipment, including aircraft, ships, trains and military vehicles, fell 61.5% in August. That branch had risen 129.4% in July from June after exceptionally high large orders for ships, railway rolling stock and aircraft. In August, capital-goods orders fell 15.3%, intermediate-goods orders declined 2.6%, and consumer-goods orders were down 7.3%. The results distinguish weaker order inflows from output already being produced or sold.","Domestic orders fell 17.3%, while foreign orders declined 5.4%; orders from both the euro area and other countries were down 5.4% and 5.5%, respectively. Real manufacturing turnover was unchanged month on month in August and 0.9% higher than a year earlier. Orders are an indicator of incoming demand, whereas turnover records sales, so the measures can diverge. The price-adjusted order index covers selected manufacturing branches and is based on 2021=100. Large one-off contracts can materially move its monthly readings, which is why the filtered and three-month figures matter.","This pattern explains why the headline index is presented alongside filtered measures of underlying movement. When large contracts are concentrated in one month, the comparison base can make the following month appear sharply weaker.
