The Mexican manufacturing industry would have closed 2025 with a decline, according to the Timely Monthly Indicator of Manufacturing Activity (IMOAM) , prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .
In December 2025, the agency anticipated a 1.1% decrease in manufacturing activity compared to the same month in 2024.
In the last month of last year, this indicator showed a value of 97.2 points , as an advance calculation of the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI) of the manufacturing sector.
Amid the tariff policy driven by the United States, the Mexican manufacturing industry has faced adjustments, although it has remained resilient.
Despite this, and coupled with global trade changes, this sector of the country remains attractive for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
According to data from the Ministry of Economy (SE) , Mexico attracted $40.906 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the third quarter of 2025 (3Q25). Of this total, manufacturing accounted for 37.1% of the FDI, reflecting the importance of this industry to the Mexican economy.
