In its annual measurement, the country’s manufacturing activity also showed positive results, registering an increase of 0.7 percent .

According to Inegi, the  number of people employed  in this activity decreased by 0.1% on a monthly basis in October 2025.

By type of  contract , non-dependent personnel – who are hired and provided by another company and for fees or commissions without a fixed salary or wage – decreased by 0.7%, while dependent personnel of the company decreased by 0.1 percent.

By subsector, the  manufacture of petroleum and coal products saw the largest increase at 32.4% year-on-year. This was followed by the production of computer, communication, measurement, and other electronic equipment, components, and accessories, with a growth of 10.5%, and the manufacture of electrical accessories, appliances, and power generation equipment, with an annual increase of 3.1%.

Although the Mexican economy faces a complex situation, marked by a slowdown, the country’s manufacturing industry remains resilient to global trade changes due to tariffs.

“The Monthly Survey of the Manufacturing Industry reports on the current state of the main variables of production and employment in the manufacturing sector,” explained Inegi.

In July 2025, Mexican economic activity slowed by 1.2% compared to the same month in 2024, according to the  Global Indicator of Economic Activity (IGAE) , prepared by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) .

On a monthly basis, this indicator registered a 0.9% drop, which represented the largest contraction so far this year.

By component, primary activities , which include agriculture and livestock, decreased 3%; while  secondary activities , which include manufacturing and construction, also fell 1.2% monthly.

Tertiary activities , which involve services—including transportation, mail, and storage — also  showed a 0.4% decline in July 2025 compared to last June.

On an annual basis, primary activities decreased by 12.2%, secondary activities fell by 2.8%, and tertiary activities increased by 0.4%.

The transportation, mail, and warehousing sector saw a  1% decline compared to last June. In its annual measurement, Mexico’s logistics industry  also posted negative figures, with a  0.5% drop in activity, according to the IGAE (Spanish Institute of Statistics and Census).

The seventh-month decline in the IGAE index, which provides insight into and monitoring of short-term real-sector economic developments, comes amid uncertainty stemming from global tariffs.

According to the financial institution Banamex , the slowdown in the United States economy, as well as a less dynamic labor market, among other factors, maintain a moderate outlook for the Mexican economy, which will remain in place for the remainder of 2025.

Manufacturing activity falls in August

After showing a 0.6% rebound in July, Mexico’s manufacturing activity is expected to decline in August 2025, according to data from the Timely Monthly Indicator of Manufacturing Activity (IMOAM) .

According to the results of the IMOAM (National Institute of Statistics and Census), published this Tuesday by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEGI), a 2.3% decrease in industrial activity is anticipated compared to the same month in 2024.

The agency detailed that in the eighth month of the year, the aforementioned indicator registered a value of  108.2 points .

With the August projection, the IMOAM broke the streak of three consecutive months of strong performance.

It is worth remembering that last July, the physical volume of  manufacturing production registered a  monthly drop of 2.7% and also decreased at an annual rate of 1.1%, according to the results of the  Monthly Survey of the Manufacturing Industry (EMIM) .
