¿Cómo cierra el Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) en el 2025?

El Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) de la manufactura en Puerto Rico, principal indicador adelantado del desempeño del sector manufacturero, registró un valor de 46.2 en diciembre de 2025, lo que indica una contracción del sector en relación con el mes anterior. Un valor inferior a 50 señala una disminución de la actividad manufacturera respecto al período previo.

El PMI es el principal indicador del desempeño de la manufactura en Puerto Rico y se publica con frecuencia mensual. El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico produce y divulga este indicador como parte de su compromiso institucional de ofrecer información estadística objetiva, confiable e independiente, en apoyo al análisis económico y la toma de decisiones informadas.

Durante diciembre, aunque el índice general se mantuvo por debajo del umbral de 50, algunos de sus componentes registraron resultados distintos. En particular, los componentes de empleo y entregas de suplidores se ubicaron en o por encima de ese nivel, lo que refleja una evolución distinta de estos componentes respecto al índice general. Asimismo, los inventarios propios aumentaron en comparación con el mes anterior.

Como parte de una encuesta suplementaria a establecimientos manufactureros, los principales retos identificados durante el mes se concentraron en tres áreas. En el ámbito operacional, se destacaron los costos, las limitaciones en la disponibilidad de materias primas, las entregas de suplidores, la logística de la cadena de suministro y las ventas. En el área de recursos humanos, el principal reto reportado fue el ausentismo laboral. Asimismo, se señalaron problemas relacionados con la confiabilidad del suministro de energía eléctrica.

Desde el inicio de la encuesta, el PMI de la manufactura en Puerto Rico se ha ubicado en o por encima del umbral de expansión en 116 de los 187 meses observados, lo que permite contextualizar el resultado de diciembre dentro de su trayectoria histórica.
