In July 2026, Mexican industrial activity grew 0.5% compared to last June , driven mainly by the construction and manufacturing sectors, according to the results of the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI), prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

In its annual measurement, the indicator, which stood at a level of 102.5 in the seventh month of the year, also showed a positive behavior with an increase of 2.4 percent .

According to the agency’s figures, two of the four components of the IMAI had a positive performance in July 2026 on a monthly basis, with the construction sector showing the largest increase at 0.9 percent.

Manufacturing industries followed with an increase of 0.7%; while the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the end consumer remained unchanged on a monthly basis.

Conversely, the mining industry was the only component with a negative result in the period, which fell 1.8% on a monthly basis.

In the year-on-year comparison, construction registered an increase of 6.7%, mining increased 1.6%, manufacturing industries rose 1.3%; and generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the final consumer advanced 0.7 percent.

The July IMAI result shows an advance in Mexican industrial activity, with a good performance, in general terms, of the components that make it up, both on a monthly and annual rate.

Within the indicator, the manufacturing industries maintained a positive performance , reflecting the importance of this sector, which is one of the most relevant in the country, as it represents about 20% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and more than 80% of total merchandise exports.

In that sense, the manufacture of computer, communication, measurement and other electronic equipment, components and accessories was one of the subsectors with the highest annual growth rate, with an increase of 14.2 percent.

According to Inegi, the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity provides timely statistical information that allows us to know and monitor the monthly evolution of the economic activities of the country’s industrial sector.

El cargo Mexican industry accelerates in July, boosted by manufacturing and construction apareció primero en T21.

The construction and mining sectors boosted Mexico’s industrial production, which saw a slight increase of 0.2% in June 2026 compared to May , when it fell 0.7% month-on-month, reported the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

With this result, the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI) was at a level of 102 during the sixth month of the year.

According to the agency’s figures,  three of the four components of the IMAI had a positive performance in June 2026 on a monthly basis, with  construction  showing the largest increase at 3 percent.

This was followed by the generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing of electricity, and the supply of water and natural gas via pipelines to the end consumer , which rose 0.9 percent. Mining  increased 0.6 percent, and  manufacturing industries declined 0.6 percent during June of this year on a monthly basis.

In its annual measurement, Mexican industrial activity also showed encouraging figures, registering an increase of 0.8% in the sixth month of 2026.

Within the indicator, mining performed best with a 7 percent increase. Construction grew 4.2%, and the generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing of electricity, water supply, and natural gas via pipelines to the end consumer increased 0.7% year-on-year.

The only sector that showed a negative figure on an annual rate was manufacturing industries, which fell 1.2% compared to June 2025, reflecting the stagnation that this activity has had in recent months.

The IMAI results for June show an advance in Mexican industrial activity, with some activities performing better than others.

In this sense, construction, driven by various projects such as passenger trains and the Mexico Plan with the construction of industrial parks through the Development Poles of Well-being, has had a positive impact on the IMAI.

Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry has registered a decline, both on a monthly and annual basis, resulting from external policies such as the tariffs imposed by the United States, and a Mexican economy that is only just beginning to show signs of recovery.

El cargo Construction and mining influence slight rebound in Mexican industrial activity in June apareció primero en T21.

Due to widespread weakness across all sectors, but with a steeper downward trend in construction, Mexico’s industrial production fell 0.8% in May 2026 compared to April , when it registered a monthly increase of 2.1%, reported the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

This result represented the third decline so far this year in the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity (IMAI), which stood at a level of 101.6 last May.

According to the agency’s figures, all four components of the IMAI performed negatively in the fifth month of the year, with  construction  showing the largest drop at 3.7% compared to April 2026.

Generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the end consumer decreased by 0.5%; while mining  and manufacturing industries  each declined by 0.1% during May of this year on a monthly basis.

In its annual measurement, Mexican industrial activity also showed no encouraging figures, as it stagnated with no variation in the fifth month of 2026.

Within the indicator, the generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity, water supply and natural gas by pipeline to the final consumer was the one that fell the most (-0.8%) at an annual rate.

Construction and manufacturing industries registered a decline of 0.6% and 0.5%, respectively, in May of this year compared to the same month in 2025.

The only sector that showed a positive figure on an annual basis was mining, with a 4 percent increase in its activity.

The IMAI results reflect the weakness of the Mexican economy, which fell 0.6% in the first quarter of 2026. This is compounded by external factors, such as the conflict in the Middle East and the constant changes in the United States’ economic policy, which have increased the prices of various essential inputs for different industries.

El cargo Construction drives Mexican industrial activity in November apareció primero en T21.

Mexican manufacturing activity has experienced fluctuations throughout 2025 due to the impact of changes in U.S. tariff policy, and reportedly showed a negative performance last September.

In the ninth month of the year, the  Timely Monthly Indicator of Manufacturing Activity (IMOAM) , prepared by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) , anticipated an annual decline of 1.3 percent .

According to INEGI, the IMOAM (Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator) registered a value of  106 points , an advance calculation of the Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator (IMAI) for the manufacturing sector.

BBVA Research estimates   indicate that the manufacturing sector , which has experienced fluctuations throughout the year, will gradually recover, albeit under a backdrop of uncertainty stemming from global tariffs.

Despite the ups and downs that Mexico’s manufacturing industry has experienced so far in 2025, this sector remains a focus of attraction for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) .

The country’s FDI capture during the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25) reached a new all-time high, reaching $34.265 billion . Of this total, 36% came from the manufacturing sector.

According to INEGI, the IMOAM has established itself as a reliable estimation tool and is continually evaluated against the IMAI for the manufacturing sector.

El cargo Mexico’s manufacturing activity expected to contract in September apareció primero en T21.

In August 2025, Mexico’s industrial activity registered its third consecutive contraction, falling 0.3% monthly, according to information from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) .

A complex economic environment, resulting from U.S. trade policy, as well as a decline in the construction and mining sectors , framed the decline in industrial activity in the eighth month of the year, according to figures from the Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator (IMAI) .

According to Inegi, this indicator also fell in its annual measurement, registering a decrease of 2.7 percent .

Two of the four components that make up the IMAI declined during the period. Construction fell 2.2%, and mining fell 0.7% monthly.

On the other hand, manufacturing industries grew by 0.2%, and the generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing of electric power, water supply, and natural gas pipelines to end consumers grew by 1.3%.

On an  annual basis , all four components registered declines. Mining fell 7%; construction 3.2%; generation, transmission, distribution, and marketing of electric power, water supply, and natural gas pipelines to the final consumer 2.4%; and manufacturing 1.7%.

Mexican industrial activity in August showed mixed performance across its components, with the manufacturing industry recovering compared to last July, when it declined 1.6% monthly.

According to  BBVA Research , this sector remains the backbone of foreign trade , representing nearly 90% of exports by the first half of 2025. This reflects the fact that, despite the decrease in the IMAI in the eighth month of the year, the country’s industry remains resilient to global trade changes.

El cargo Construction sector contributes to decline in industrial activity in Mexico in August apareció primero en T21.

The decline in the seventh month of the year stems from a complex economic environment and U.S. trade policy, as well as a decline in sectors such as manufacturing and construction.

According to figures from the  Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator (IMAI) , this indicator also fell in its annual measurement, registering a decrease of 2.8% in the reference month.

According to the agency’s figures, the period was marked by declines in three of the four components that make up the IMAI, with  mining being  the only one that registered an increase, with 1.9% compared to June 2025.

Manufacturing fell 1.6 percent monthly in the seventh month of the year, while  construction decreased 1.2 percent.

In July 2025, generation, transmission and distribution of electric power, water supply and natural gas decreased 0.1% compared to the previous month.

Low domestic demand for goods and services, as well as the current global trading environment, have contributed to the decline in Mexican industrial production last July.

Despite the decline in the manufacturing industry during the period, BBVA Research indicated that this sector remains the backbone of foreign trade, accounting for nearly 90% of exports by the first half of 2025.

The Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator provides insight into and monitoring of the evolution of industrial activity in Mexico, INEGI emphasized.
