In 2025, Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 0.8% compared to 2024 , according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi)  released this Monday.

Meanwhile, in the October-December period of last year, with seasonally adjusted figures, GDP registered an increase of 0.9% on a quarterly basis and 1.8% on an annual basis in real terms.

This adjustment showed slight variations with the timely estimate projected by Inegi on January 30, in which it had estimated a quarterly increase of 0.8% and an annual increase of 1.6% for the Mexican economy in the fourth quarter of 2025 (4Q25).

By component, the quarterly performance was as follows: the GDP of secondary activities – made up of manufacturing and construction – as well as that of tertiary activities – such as transport, postal and storage services – advanced 0.9 percent .

Meanwhile, the Gross Domestic Product of primary activities, such as agriculture and livestock, fell 1.4% quarter-on-quarter in Q4 2025, according to statistics from Inegi.

At an annual rate, primary activities increased 7.8%, tertiary activities 2.1%, and secondary activities 0.3% in real terms in the fourth quarter of 2025.

IGAE logistics industry closes 2025 with progress

In December 2025, Mexican economic activity accelerated 0.4% month-on-month , according to the  Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE) of Inegi, driven mainly by primary activities, such as agriculture.

On an annual basis, the IGAE registered a growth of 2.4% in the reference period.

During the cycle, primary activities advanced 6.5%, and secondary and tertiary activities each increased 0.2%, on a monthly basis. On an annual basis, primary activities increased 11.7%, tertiary activities 2.2%, and secondary activities 1.5%.

The transportation, postal, and warehousing sector saw a 1.5% increase  in December 2025 compared to the previous November. In its annual measurement,  Mexico’s logistics industry also showed positive figures, with 2%  growth   in activity, according to the IGAE (Global Indicator of Economic Activity).

According to the consulting firm KPMG , among the challenges that the Mexican economy will face by 2026 is managing the uncertainty derived from the review of the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (USMCA) , in a context of geopolitical tensions that could affect economic growth, put pressure on inflation and limit the benefits of nearshoring (relocation of production lines).

El cargo Mexico’s GDP grows in 2025; logistics sector’s IGAE accelerates in December apareció primero en T21.

The  transport, postal and storage sector , which is part of the tertiary activities of the economy, stood at 114.8 points in September 2025, a decrease of  0.1%  compared to last August, according to the  Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE) , prepared by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

On an annual basis,  Mexico’s logistics industry  showed positive performance, registering a  0.1% increase  in its activity, according to the IGAE results.

In the ninth month of the year, the IGAE fell 0.6%, both monthly and annually, to stand at 104.2 points.

Within this indicator, primary activities , such as agriculture and livestock, decreased by 4.9%, while  secondary activities – manufacturing and construction – declined by 0.4% month-on-month.

Tertiary activities ,  which involve the service sector, fell 0.5% in September 2025 compared to last August.

On an annual basis, secondary activities decreased by 3.3 percent. Tertiary activities grew by 0.7 percent, and primary activities increased by 7.4 percent.

The IGAE has fluctuated throughout the year, reflecting a constant change in Mexican economic activity, as in August 2025 it registered a monthly growth of 0.6%, falling in September 0.6% on a monthly basis, which meant its biggest decline so far this year.

The IGAE allows us to understand and monitor the evolution of the real sector of the economy in the short term, so its measurement is key for economic decision-making.

In light of the imminent legislative debate to reduce the working week from 48 to 40 hours in Mexico, José Ambe, CEO of Logística de México (LDM) , warned that the logistics sector must prepare for the impact by accelerating technological and operational investments.

The reform, which seeks to align working conditions with international standards, has begun to generate concerns in various productive sectors in the country.

Although it has not yet been approved, the proposal proposes a gradual implementation , which will open up opportunities for dialogue within business chambers and associations.

“We’re going to begin a possible reduction in working hours, and this will be gradual. According to what we’ve been told, various forums will begin to take place in chambers and associations,” Ambe said.

The executive emphasized that this transformation cannot go unnoticed, as it will directly affect logistics operations.

“It will force us to significantly accelerate our investments in companies in areas such as technology, productivity, data, and visibility,” he emphasized.

He also noted that this new pressure comes on top of other factors already facing companies in the sector , such as the tightening tariff environment, compliance with international treaties, and the country’s political and economic uncertainty.

“This will certainly be an issue that we, as companies and industries, must closely monitor and ensure we can mitigate the impact,” he said.
