In April 2026, Mexico’s transport, postal and storage sector stood at 116.1 points , which meant a slight growth of 0.1% compared to last March, according to the results of the Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE), prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .
Conversely, in its annual measurement, the country’s logistics industry , which is part of the tertiary activities, registered a drop of 0.2 percent .
The IGAE in the logistics sector in April showed mixed results, reflecting an industry undergoing readjustments, stemming from the global business environment and a slowing Mexican economy.
Meanwhile, in general terms, the country’s Global Indicator of Economic Activity advanced 1.2% on a monthly basis in the fourth month of 2026, while on an annual basis it increased 2.2% to stand at 106.9 points.
Within the IGAE (Global Indicator of Economic Activity), primary activities —such as agriculture and livestock—fell 0.4% month-on-month. Secondary activities—manufacturing and construction—increased 2.1% in April 2026 compared to the previous March.
Tertiary activities , which involve the service sector, advanced 0.7% on a monthly basis.
At an annual rate, primary activities grew 4.7%, secondary activities 1.8% and tertiary activities 2.4% in the reference period.
According to the results from last April, Mexican economic activity registered increases both monthly and annually; however, analysts are cautiously reviewing these data, as uncertainty persists due to various factors such as the protectionist trade policy of the United States and the review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) .
According to Inegi, the IGAE allows one to know and monitor the evolution of the real sector of the economy in the short term.
