Canada's manufacturing sector reported a slight dip in sales during November 2025, as the latest figures indicate a continued downward trend. According to data updated on January 15, 2026, the manufacturing sales indicator dropped to -1.2%, down from October's figure of -1.0%.
This month-over-month comparison paints a stark picture for Canada's manufacturing industry, marking a consecutively negative performance. October already saw a decline, but November showed an even deeper contraction, reflecting ongoing challenges in the sector.
The decrease in sales could signal potential obstacles ahead for Canada's economic recovery, as the manufacturing industry plays a crucial role in the nation's overall financial health. Economists and policymakers will likely be closely analyzing these trends to formulate strategies that can stabilize and revitalize the manufacturing landscape in the coming months.
