In a sign of continued contraction, Mexico's S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) edged lower to 46.30 in June, down from May's reading of 46.70. The updated figures, which were released on July 1st, 2025, show that the sector remains below the 50.0 threshold that distinguishes between expansion and contraction.
The dip marks a continued downward trend for the Mexican manufacturing industry, reflecting ongoing challenges. Factors such as supply chain disruptions, fluctuating demand, and inflationary pressures are contributing to this bearish outlook, impacting manufacturers' operational costs and profitability.
This downward trend poses significant concerns for policymakers and industry leaders who are working diligently to bolster Mexico's manufacturing capabilities amidst global economic uncertainties. The consistent contraction indicates underlying issues in the sector that may require targeted interventions to stimulate growth and improve competitiveness in the global market.
