FX.co ★ Mexico’s Industrial Output Growth Cools Sharply to 0.2% in December

Mexico’s industrial production growth slowed markedly in December 2025, edging up just 0.2% month-over-month compared with a 0.6% increase in November 2025. The latest data, updated on 11 February 2026, indicate a clear loss of momentum in the country’s industrial sector as the year drew to a close.

The month‑over‑month comparison shows that while output continued to grow, the pace of expansion weakened significantly from the previous month. November’s 0.6% rise reflected a stronger rebound from October, but December’s 0.2% reading suggests that industrial activity faced increasing headwinds, potentially from softer demand or operational constraints across key industries.

This deceleration in industrial production will be closely watched by analysts and investors tracking Mexico’s short-term growth dynamics, as industrial performance is a key component of the broader economic outlook and can influence expectations for early 2026 activity.
