Mexico Capacity Utilization
Capacity utilization in manufacturing measures the percentage of available production capacity that is actually being used over a given period. It indicates how efficiently manufacturers are using their resources and is a key gauge of economic activity, potential inflationary pressures, and slack in the industrial sector. A higher rate suggests strong demand and efficient use of resources, while a lower rate may indicate underutilization or weak demand.
