Automotive manufacturing in the United Kingdom experienced a contraction in January as output fell by 8.2% to 65,249 units. Data released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) indicates that the decline was primarily driven by a slowdown in international demand, with exports dropping 10.1% to 51,396 units during the first month of the year.
