Mexico’s industrial production fell 0.6% month-on-month in March 2026, marking a setback after a modest expansion at the start of the year. The decline follows a 0.4% month-on-month increase in February 2026, according to data updated on 12 May 2026.

On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading shows that March’s output contracted compared with February, while February’s figure had reflected growth relative to January. The shift from a 0.4% rise to a 0.6% decline suggests a loss of short-term momentum in Mexico’s industrial sector as the first quarter drew to a close.

The month-over-month comparison measures how production changed from one month to the next, highlighting the near-term volatility in industrial activity. Investors and analysts will now be watching upcoming releases to assess whether March’s drop signals a temporary pullback or the start of a weaker trend in Mexico’s industrial performance.
