In December 2025, industrial activity in Mexico experienced a modest growth of 0.2% compared to the previous month, as reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). This growth marks the first increase in industrial activity for December since 2023, when it recorded a decline of 0.7%, followed by another decrease of 1.4% in 2024. The consistent rise over the last three months provides a cautious optimism about the sector's recovery, particularly after facing consecutive annual declines in the preceding years.

The data from INEGI also highlights growth within specific industrial sectors, notably in mining with a 0.48% increase, basic services (water, electric light, and gas) at 0.72%, and construction, which saw a significant rise of 1.21%. However, it is important to note that the manufacturing sector faced a slight contraction of 0.11% compared to the previous month, attributed to various monthly setbacks that impacted production levels. This mixed performance across different sectors indicates a complex landscape within Mexico's industrial sector.

The overall statistics serve to provide timely insights into the monthly trends and developments in Mexico's industrial activities. The growth in certain sectors may suggest a shifting economic environment, emphasizing the need for stakeholders to monitor ongoing changes closely. The resilience of mining and construction, juxtaposed with the struggles in manufacturing, reflects broader economic challenges that Mexico faces as it navigates post-pandemic recovery and global supply chain disruptions.
