Comment:

Rob Dobson, Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence said:

“May PMI data indicate that UK manufacturing faces major challenges, including turbulent market conditions, trade uncertainties, low client confidence and rising tax-related wage costs. Downturns in output, new orders and new export business have continued, and business optimism has stayed subdued by the historical standards of the survey.

“Smaller manufacturers are experiencing the sharpest pinch, registering the steepest retrenchments in output and demand and seeing their confidence slump to a near record low. Job losses are also rising across manufacturing, with the rate of decline in employment gathering pace.

“There are some signs of manufacturing turning a corner though. PMI indices tracking output and new orders have moved higher in each of the past two months, suggesting the downturn is easing, and came in better than the earlier flash estimates for May. That said, trading conditions remain turbulent both at home and abroad, making either a return to stabilisation or a sink back into deeper contraction likely during the coming months."
