In July, the global manufacturing PMI edged down month-on-month. The sector remained in expansion territory, yet growth momentum weakened marginally, while economic sentiment across major economies diverged sharply. Total global industrial goods trade kept contracting, though structural bright spots emerged: products along the AI industrial chain served as the core driver of export growth for electromechanical goods. Notably, Japan’s manufacturing PMI reached 54.7, marking seven consecutive months of expansion, with new orders hitting their fastest growth in over five years.
Overall, global manufacturing stands at a complex juncture: expansion persists but momentum fades, regional gaps widen, and external risks accumulate.
