Actividad industrial en 10 entidades sigue sin ‘curarse’ del COVID
Three years after the pandemic began, Mexico’s industrial sector exhibits a fragmented recovery. Although national production has technically surpassed pre-crisis levels, significant disparities persist across regions. The key finding is that ten states have not yet regained their pre-pandemic industrial activity, revealing a deep economic divide in which integration with external markets fosters growth, while internal dependency hinders progress. The construction sector remains severely affected, constrained by high inflation and rising input costs, which limit investment projects. In contrast, manufacturing has demonstrated greater resilience, largely driven by export-oriented activities. However, this dynamism is uneven: specific states that rely on domestic markets or have vulnerable supply chains—such as those in the food industry—continue to lag behind, struggling to recover lost ground due to persistent increases in material prices. This article is relevant to open data because it illustrates how granular, state-level statistics are essential for diagnosing nuanced economic conditions beyond national averages. By analyzing specific datasets from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), policymakers and researchers can identify which regions require targeted intervention, ensuring that transparency in public data leads to more effective and equitable regional development strategies.
