After four consecutive months of negative figures, Mexican industrial activity rebounded 0.7% during October 2025 compared to last September, according to information released this Friday by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .
With the increase recorded in the tenth month of the year, the country’s industrial activity points to a positive end to the year, which, however, has been marked by a complex economic scenario and constant trade changes in the world.
Despite the October rebound, the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI) showed a drop in its annual measurement, registering a decrease of 0.7% in the reference month.
According to Inegi figures, three of the four components of the IMAI had a positive performance , with manufacturing industries being the only one that declined, with 0.3% compared to September 2025.
Conversely, construction registered the greatest advance, with an increase of 3.8%, followed by generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, water supply and natural gas , with an increase of 1.6% and mining with an increase of 0.7%, all at a monthly rate.
In its annual reading, two components showed declines. Manufacturing industries fell 1.4% and mining slowed 0.7% during the period.
Generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the end consumer showed an increase of 1.7% and construction rose 1.5% annually.
The Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity allows us to know and monitor the evolution of industrial activity in Mexico, according to Inegi.
October’s rebound in the country’s industrial activity represents the second-best reading so far this year, only below the 2.1% increase seen in February, when the United States was set to impose tariffs on Mexico.
