A decline occurred in the production of motor vehicles, metallurgy, electrical equipment, furniture, rubber and plastic products, beverages, and clothing.

It should be noted that in January, the industry of the Kirov region showed a decline: the industrial production index was 93.4% compared to January 2025, and manufacturing industries fell to 90.5%. Thus, despite some improvement in February, the industrial sector remains in the negative over the two months as a whole.
