Tlaxcala (6.9%), Oaxaca (5.9%) and Puebla (4.5%) were the Mexican states that showed the best performance in their industrial activity in July 2026 on a monthly basis, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) announced .
According to the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity by Federal Entity (IMAIEF) —which provides information on the behavior of industrial activity in the states—, Quintana Roo, Morelos, Chiapas and Yucatán also stood out in their industries during the period.
Conversely, the states that reported the largest drops in the seventh month of the year compared to June 2026 were Tamaulipas with a decrease of 5.2%, Hidalgo with a decrease of 3.2% and Michoacán with a decline of 2.7 percent.
In its annual measurement, the entities where industrial activity showed the greatest progress were Hidalgo, Chiapas and Yucatán, with 15.5%, 12.2% and 11.8%, respectively, during July 2026.
The states with the largest year-on-year declines in their industrial activity were Morelos with 18.4%, Baja California Sur with 12.9%, and Aguascalientes with 9.8%.
Activity by sector
In July 2026, manufacturing industries in Tabasco and Sonora registered significant advances at an annual rate.
In construction , the largest increases occurred in Hidalgo, State of Mexico, Querétaro, Yucatán, Colima, Tlaxcala, Campeche, Chiapas, Tamaulipas and Sinaloa.
The mining sector saw increases in Tamaulipas. Veracruz, Yucatán, the State of Mexico, and Chiapas followed.
In the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the end consumer, the increases in Chiapas, San Luis Potosí, Quintana Roo and Querétaro stood out at an annual rate.
July’s results show that the industrial recovery is not progressing at the same pace across the country. While states like Hidalgo and Chiapas registered double-digit year-on-year increases, others, such as Morelos and Baja California Sur, faced significant setbacks.
For transport and logistics, these regional differences represent signals about the evolution of demand for goods, raw materials, inputs and finished products.
Thus, the dynamism of construction can translate into greater requirements for the movement of materials and equipment, while the advance of manufacturing can strengthen cargo movements linked to industrial supply chains.
