After a sharp decline in March, Mexico's industrial production has shown a positive turnaround in April, climbing from a -0.9% contraction to a modest yet encouraging increase of 0.1%. This shift indicates a stabilization in the industrial sector, which had been struggling to regain momentum.
The new data, released on June 11, 2025, reflects a month-over-month comparison, highlighting that the industry has been able to recover slightly after the setbacks seen in the previous month. This positive change, albeit small, could signal the beginning of a more sustained recovery if similar trends continue in the coming months.
While challenges remain for Mexico's industrial sector, such as global supply chain disruptions and fluctuating demand, the April figures offer a much-needed hint of optimism for policy-makers and industry stakeholders. Continued monitoring will be crucial to understand whether this uptick forms part of a larger trend or is merely a temporary stabilization in the industry.
