The Brașov county industry faces significant challenges, with a 17% drop in industrial production and a 10% decrease in turnover from January to August 2026. This decline is more pronounced than the national average, where production fell by only 3.4%. The automotive sector is particularly affected, with a 36.7% decrease in vehicle manufacturing. Despite some sectors showing growth, such as machinery repair and chemical production, these gains are insufficient to offset the overall downturn. Additionally, labor productivity has decreased by 12.5%. Major companies like Vitesco and Autoliv are still significant players, but Brașov's industrial performance lags behind national trends.
