Mexico's industrial sector faces continued challenges as production figures reveal a deeper contraction. Recent data updated on January 9, 2026, indicates that the industrial production index has dropped to -0.8% for November 2025. This marks a further decline from October's already negative -0.4%, showcasing a persistent downtrend on a Year-over-Year (YoY) basis.
The back-to-back negative figures for October and November highlight ongoing weaknesses in the industrial sector, pointing to broader economic strains. This repetitive contraction could be attributed to various factors including potential disruptions in supply chains, declining external demand, or domestic economic conditions that inhibit industrial growth.
With November's data showing a more pronounced dip compared to October, stakeholders and policymakers will likely need to evaluate strategies to boost industrial output and counteract the decreasing trend. But for now, Mexico's industry continues to grapple with declining production levels as the new year begins.
