While today’s #Manufacturing PMI reading shows growth has slowed, the sector is still growing overall. It also shows how manufacturers have become even more flexible and more adept at dealing with challenges over recent years. Further, the underlying picture is more positive than it has been in previous months, with lower energy and input costs helping ease some pressure. https://lnkd.in/gye48X9G Lloyds Business & Commercial Manufacturing Management

The latest UK Manufacturing PMI suggests the sector remains in expansion, with output growing at its fastest pace since September 2024. However, there are signs that momentum may be starting to pull back. Recent growth has been supported by customers bringing forward orders and building stock levels to protect against supply chain disruption and future price increases. But a slowdown in new order growth suggests this boost may not last forever. For businesses, now is a good time to focus on forecasting, cash flow and working capital management. Understanding the impact of changing costs and demand patterns can make a significant difference when economic conditions remain uncertain. https://lnkd.in/ep9wxrNe

📊 U.S. manufacturing expanded for a sixth consecutive month in June, but the story underneath the headline numbers is where things get interesting. ✅ The PMI came in at 53.3%, new orders held strong for a sixth straight month, and hiring conditions improved meaningfully. And while still elevated, prices posted their sharpest single-month decline in recent memory. On the surface, solid momentum. ➡️ But manufacturers aren't letting their guard down. Tariff uncertainty, stretched supplier lead times, and weakening consumer spending are still shaping decisions across the industry. Export orders slipped back into contraction. And half of all panelists flagged pricing volatility as an active concern despite the relief.

U.S. Manufacturing Has Expanded for Six Straight Months. What Comes Next? The latest ISM Manufacturing PMI shows U.S. manufacturing expanding for the sixth consecutive month—a positive sign that demand continues to recover. But one detail stood out to us: production and new orders are growing faster than employment. That suggests many manufacturers aren’t planning to solve higher demand by simply adding more people. Instead, they’re looking for ways to increase output with the workforce they already have. Across manufacturing, that often means investing in automation, improving process consistency, reducing downtime, and finding opportunities to increase throughput without sacrificing quality. Growth is encouraging, but sustainable growth depends on operational efficiency. As the market continues to recover, the companies that improve productivity today may be the ones best positioned to capitalize on tomorrow’s demand.

The S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI was sharply revised down to 53.9 in June 2026, significantly below the preliminary estimate of 55.7 and May’s final reading of 55.1. Despite the drop, the latest figure marked the eleventh straight month of expansion, indicating a solid improvement in operating conditions, though the weakest in three months. Output and new orders continued to rise, albeit at slower yet historically strong rates, driven by new product launches and pre-orders to hedge against rising prices. Input costs increased sharply due to higher raw material prices, though the rise was softer than May’s peak. Selling price inflation also eased to a three-month low. However, job cuts accelerated to the fastest pace since May 2020, the quickest outside the pandemic since October 2009. Business optimism for the year ahead also declined for the second consecutive month, hitting its lowest level since October 2025.
