Mexico industrial and manufacturing sector trends

Overview

The Mexican industrial sector has shown signs of recovery following a period of commercial uncertainty. Investment in industrial real estate has seen activity, with Finsa completing a $644 million acquisition cycle for 2025-2026 to expand rentable space across several states. Data from INEGI indicated a 2.7% year-over-year rise in industrial activity in July, driven largely by a 14.2% increase in the manufacture of computer, communication, and electronic equipment.

However, employment trends within the IMMEX manufacturing program present a different trajectory. As of August 2026, manufacturing-specific employment saw a 0.3% annual decline, marking 32 consecutive months of contractions. This downturn is particularly pronounced in the garment, furniture, and textile sectors. Conversely, the computer manufacturing sector has remained resilient, reporting a 6.87% increase in employment.
