Mexico industrial and economic trends

Overview

In mid-2026, Mexico's industrial activity showed varied regional performance. Data from June 2026 indicated significant growth in Tamaulipas, driven by petroleum mining, manufacturing, and construction, while other states like Hidalgo and Veracruz also saw increases. Conversely, the construction sector in Coahuila experienced a sharp 24.7% annual contraction.

By August 2026, the Monthly Industrial Activity Indicator rose 0.6% monthly and 3.6% annually, supported by the manufacturing and energy sectors, despite a decline in mining. However, the cumulative activity for the first eight months of the year showed a slight 0.3% decrease compared to 2025.

During this period, the industrial real estate market saw the national vacancy rate rise to 5.5%, a significant increase from the 1.8% historic low in 2023, which has been attributed to investment uncertainty and international trade tensions. Additionally, the business sector, through the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial, has proposed limiting minimum wage increases to inflation rates as businesses prepare for a reduction in the weekly workweek scheduled for 2027.
