Mongolia reported strong industrial output growth in the first eleven months of 2025, reaching MNT 47.1 trillion, the National Statistics Office said. Industrial Output rose by MNT 753.7 billion compared with the same period in 2024, signaling positive momentum.
Manufacturing output increased by nine percent, while the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply sector jumped 33.6 percent. Total industrial production grew by a preliminary MNT 7.5 trillion.
Food production added MNT 371.5 billion, and non-metallic mineral products contributed MNT 138.2 billion. Mining and extractive industries also performed strongly. Output of brown coal, zinc concentrate, iron ore concentrate, fluorspar, iron ore, and copper concentrate increased between 3.6 and 66.6 percent.
Key manufactured products, including liquid milk, cathode copper, cement, flour, lime, and combed cashmere, grew 2.9 to 3.4 times year on year. However, production declined for unrefined gold, hard coal, crude oil, and silver concentrate. Livestock meat, metal billets, soft drinks, vodka, cashmere knitwear, rectified alcohol, cigarettes, and coal briquettes fell between 0.6 and 49.2 percent.
Preliminary total industrial sales reached MNT 51.8 trillion, up MNT 4.5 trillion from 2024. Mining sector sales contributed MNT 2.7 trillion of this increase, reflecting strong domestic and international demand.
Foreign sales totaled MNT 36.4 trillion, with MNT 34.6 trillion from mining and extractive industries. Coal mining accounted for 37.6 percent, metal ore mining 58.5 percent, crude oil 2.4 percent, and other minerals 1.4 percent of export revenue.
Experts said Industrial Output growth highlights Mongolia’s economic resilience and the importance of mining and manufacturing. Analysts also warned that global commodity prices could affect future performance.
Authorities plan to strengthen infrastructure, diversify production, and improve export capacity to sustain Industrial Output. Investments in new technologies and production efficiency are expected to further boost Mongolia’s industrial sector.
