The Israel Central Bureau of Statistics published encouraging data today (Thursday) regarding the strength of Israeli industry. According to the figures, during the months of February to April 2025, the industry showed significant improvement across various sectors.
Total industrial output, including mining and quarrying, rose by 3.6%. The labor market also showed a positive trend – the number of salaried employees in the sector increased by 1.2%, and total work hours rose by 1.6%.
At the same time, revenue grew: a 7.1% increase in sales to the domestic market, and an even sharper rise – 13.2% – in exports, indicating stronger demand for Israeli products in international markets.
Strengthening the High-Tech Sector
However, in the traditional industry (excluding mining, quarrying, and high-tech), there was a slight decline of 0.4% in production output.
Particularly notable is the growth in high-tech sectors, where an 11.2% increase was recorded – a figure that reinforces the role of high-tech as a central growth engine for the economy.
The overall trend: while traditional industry remains relatively stable or slightly retreats, the export and technology sectors are advancing rapidly – evidence of a gradual shift in the economy toward advanced, innovation-based industries.
