Colombia’s industrial sector moved back into contraction in May 2026, with year-over-year industrial production declining by 0.4%, according to data updated on 15 July 2026. The figure marks a notable pullback from April 2026, when industrial output had expanded by 2.0% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The year-over-year comparison shows that momentum in Colombia’s industrial activity has weakened, as the modest growth recorded in April failed to carry into May. The latest reading suggests that underlying conditions in manufacturing and related industries remain fragile, with output levels now trailing those seen in May of the previous year.
