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.

In August 2025, Mexican mining and metallurgical production registered a 2.1% monthly drop , amid an economic outlook slowed by the United States’ tariff policy, the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reported Wednesday .

According to the  Statistics of the Mining and Metallurgical Industry (EIMM) , which provides information on this activity for the purpose of generating timely indicators, production increased by 0.2 percent at an annual rate .

The August increase in the annual figure represented the lowest increase in the last 15 months, according to data from INEGI.

By product, sulfur  production increased by 55.2%, while lead also saw an annual increase of 15.7% last August. Gold , fluorite  , and silver saw increases in production of 11.3%, 3.6%, and 1.5%, respectively.

On the other hand, iron pellet production  fell 19.3%, zinc fell 13%, while copper and gypsum fell 7.9% and 1.5% annually, respectively.

During the period, Zacatecas stood out in gold production with 16.9%, as well as in lead with 12.1%. Durango showed optimal performance in silver production with 9.8%, as well as zinc with 5.1% at an annual rate.

The Mexican mining and metallurgical industry has been one of the hardest hit by tariffs, specifically on products such as steel and aluminum, which the United States has imposed a 50 percent tariff on.

According to INEGI, Mexican mining and metallurgical production includes extraction, beneficiation, smelting, and refining of metallic and non-metallic minerals.
