The report was issued today by Susan Spence, MBA, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee.

“The Manufacturing PMI® registered 53.3 percent in June, 0.7 percentage point lower than in May. The overall economy continued in expansion for the 20th month in a row. (A Manufacturing PMI® above 47.5 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy.) The New Orders Index expanded for the sixth consecutive month after four straight readings in contraction, registering 56 percent, down 0.8 percentage point compared to May’s figure of 56.8 percent. The June reading of the Production Index (52.2 percent) is 2.1 percentage points lower than May’s reading of 54.3 percent. The Prices Index remained in expansion (or ‘increasing’ territory), registering 73 percent, a 9.1-percentage point decrease from May’s reading of 82.1 percent. The Backlog of Orders Index registered 50.5 percent, down 1.7 percentage points compared to the 52.2 percent recorded in May. The Employment Index registered 49.7 percent, up 1.1 percentage points from May’s figure of 48.6 percent,” says Spence.

“The Supplier Deliveries Index indicated slowing performance for the seventh month in a row after one month in ‘faster’ territory. The reading of 57.4 percent is down 3.2 percentage points from its May reading of 60.6 percent. (Supplier Deliveries is the only ISM® PMI® Reports index that is inversed; a reading of above 50 percent indicates slower deliveries, which is typical as the economy improves and customer demand increases.)

“The Inventories Index registered 51.4 percent, returning to expansion territory and up 1.5 percentage points compared to May’s reading of 49.9 percent. The Customers’ Inventories Index reading of 42.3 percent is 0.4 percentage point lower compared to the 42.7 percent recorded in May.

“The New Export Orders Index returned to contraction territory with a reading of 48.5 percent, 2.1 percentage points lower than the 50.6 percent registered in May. The Imports Index registered 52.9 percent, 0.1 percentage point lower than May’s reading of 53 percent.”

Spence continues, “In June, U.S. manufacturing activity remained in expansion territory, growing at a slightly slower pace as compared to the month before. Of the five subindexes that make up the PMI®, the New Orders and Production indexes grew slower as compared to the previous month, the Supplier Deliveries Index slowed at a slower rate, and the Employment and Inventories indexes improved with the latter entering expansion territory.

“In June, 34 percent of the comments were positive and 66 percent negative, with a 1-to-1.9 ratio of positive to negative sentiment. Among negative comments, the Iran war was mentioned in 31 percent and tariffs in 17 percent; 50 percent of the panelists mentioned pricing volatility as an issue for their companies.

“In June, two of four demand indicators (New Orders and Backlog of Orders) were in expansion, and the Customers’ Inventories Index remained in ‘too low’ territory, contracting at a faster rate. A ‘too low’ status for the Customers’ Inventories Index is usually considered positive for future production. New Export Orders returned to contraction, losing 2.1 percentage points since May.

“Regarding output, the Production Index is in expansion for the eighth month in a row, and the Employment Index increased by 1.1 percentage points but remained in contraction. Among panelists, 36 percent indicated that managing head counts remains the norm at their companies, while 64 percent are hiring — a near reversal of those numbers from the start of the year (66 percent of companies were managing staff levels in the January report).

“Finally, inputs (defined as supplier deliveries, inventories, prices, and imports) were mixed, with the Supplier Deliveries Index decreasing 3.2 percentage points, the Inventories Index entering into expansion, the Imports Index losing 0.1 percentage point but staying in expansion, and Prices Index relief coming with a 9.1-percentage point drop, a reading of 73 percent versus 82.1 percent in May.

“Looking at the manufacturing economy, 5 percent of the sector’s gross domestic product (GDP) contracted in June, compared to 2 percent in May, and the percentage of manufacturing GDP in strong contraction (defined as a composite PMI® of 45 percent or lower) was 3 percent, compared to 2 percent in May. The share of sector GDP with a PMI® at or below 45 percent is a good metric to gauge overall manufacturing weakness. All but one (Petroleum & Coal Products) of the six largest manufacturing industries expanded in June, in the following order: Computer & Electronic Products; Machinery; Transportation Equipment; Chemical Products; and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products.”

The 14 manufacturing industries reporting growth in June — listed in order — are: Printing & Related Support Activities; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Textile Mills; Primary Metals; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Computer & Electronic Products; Machinery; Plastics & Rubber Products; Transportation Equipment; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Chemical Products; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products. The three industries in contraction are: Paper Products; Furniture & Related Products; and Wood Products.

WHAT RESPONDENTS ARE SAYING

  • “The conflict in Iran has impacted pricing in every category of raw materials. Especially, items that have a heavy concentration of oil in the components like our adhesives.” [Chemical Products]
  • “Continued pressure from conflict in Middle East is resulting in a more conservative approach to capital expenditures. We are seeing an increase in consumables and services purchasing from sectors like chemical analysis, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and environmental and pharmaceutical testing.” [Computer & Electronic Products]
  • “General purchasing operations are being shaped by (1) moderating but still elevated inflation, (2) higher interest rates and (3) continued policy uncertainty, particularly around tariffs and global trade. While overall economic growth remains resilient, it is slowing as consumer spending weakens under pressure from higher costs for energy and essential goods, reducing demand visibility and increasing cost sensitivity for buyers. Meanwhile, supply chains have stabilized compared to prior years but remain structurally complex, with trade policy volatility, geopolitical tensions and regulatory changes now ongoing cost drivers rather than temporary disruptions. Our organization continues balancing cost control with resilience, shifting sourcing strategies, tightening inventories and prioritizing supplier diversification and risk management.” [Computer & Electronic Products]
  • “Retail electronics sales seem to have stabilized to some extent. The pause in tariff changes has been welcomed the last two months, but it’s only a matter of time before more confusion is introduced.” [Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components]
  • “Input costs remain elevated across key categories, driven largely by Middle East conflict impacts and ongoing tariff uncertainty. Supplier lead times have stretched, which is influencing our inventory strategy and sourcing decisions. We are managing exposure through diversified supplier bases and contract structures that balance cost certainty with operational flexibility.” [Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products]
  • “Conditions are optimistic but not yet booming for our company, even though many others, it seems, are experiencing growth. Machinery in support of defense and semiconductor manufacturing is very strong, a bright spot for our team. Industrial and medical clients are slow to purchase, focusing more on refurbished and upgraded units versus new ones.” [Machinery]
  • “Core business remains solid in the face of ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Cautiously optimistic that a deal will be reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz; concerned about ongoing ripple effects even when the strait reopens but situation is highly concerning if the strait remains closed. AI industry continues to have huge capacity consumption for critical electronics. Monitoring impact of U.S. defense industry needs on supplier capacity.” [Miscellaneous Manufacturing]
  • “No major changes from last month. With the potential ending of the Iran war, management is expecting us to go back to February pricing structures and plans since the increase in oil prices was driven by the war and not regular market influences.” [Petroleum & Coal Products]
  • “Requests from suppliers in Europe and India for ‘energy surcharges’ have stopped this past month. We’re seeing continued capacity growth in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding China), including Vietnam, Thailand and South Korea. Most suppliers are building for the longer term as geopolitical protection from all sides.” [Transportation Equipment]
  • “The new Section 232 tariffs continue to destroy our profitability and demand as we have to raise prices to deal with this gigantic tax. Add the ‘incentives’ for our company to pivot to purchasing non-U.S. sourced material, and one realizes the total ineptitude of this tariff policy.” [Transportation Equipment]

JUNE 2026 MANUFACTURING INDEX SUMMARIES

Manufacturing PMI® 
The U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in June for the sixth straight month following a 10-month period of contraction, registering 53.3 percent, a decrease of 0.7 percentage point compared to May. Of the five subindexes that directly factor into the Manufacturing PMI®, four (New Orders, Production, Supplier Deliveries and Inventories) were in expansion territory, one more than in May. The Employment Index stayed in contraction but improved compared to May. Five of the six largest manufacturing industries expanded in June, with Petroleum & Coal Products the exception. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.

A Manufacturing PMI® above 47.5 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy. Therefore, the June Manufacturing PMI® indicates the overall economy grew for the 20th straight month. “The past relationship between the Manufacturing PMI® and the overall economy indicates that June reading (53.3 percent) corresponds to a 2-percent increase in real gross domestic product (GDP) on an annualized basis,” says Spence.

Employment
ISM®‘s Employment Index registered 49.7 percent in June, 1.1 percentage points higher than May’s reading of 48.6 percent. “The index posted its 33rd consecutive month of contraction after expanding in September 2023. Since January 2023, the Employment Index has contracted in 41 of 42 months. Of the six big manufacturing industries, three (Machinery; Transportation Equipment; and Chemical Products) reported higher levels of employment in June. The panelist comment ratio of hiring to managing/reducing head counts was 1.8 to 1 in June, nearly a reversal of the 1-to-2 ratio at the beginning a year,” says Spence. An Employment Index above 50.3 percent, over time, is generally consistent with an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on manufacturing employment.

Of the 18 manufacturing industries, nine reported employment growth in June, in the following order: Printing & Related Support Activities; Paper Products; Primary Metals; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Plastics & Rubber Products; Machinery; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Transportation Equipment; and Chemical Products.

Prices† 
The ISM® Prices Index registered 73 percent in June, a decrease of 9.1 percentage points compared to its May reading of 82.1 percent, indicating raw materials prices increased for the 21st straight month. This is the largest decrease in the index since July 2022, when it dropped 18.5 percentage points. Of the six largest manufacturing industries, five — Machinery; Computer & Electronic Products; Transportation Equipment; Chemical Products; and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products — reported price increases in June. “The Prices Index reading is still being driven by (1) increases in steel and aluminum prices that impact the entire value chain, (2) tariffs applied to many imported goods and (3) increases in petroleum-based products as a result of the Middle East conflict. Higher prices were reported by 55.1 percent of respondents in June, down 11.2 percentage points from May’s 66.3 percent,” says Spence. A Prices Index above 52.8 percent, over time, is generally consistent with an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials.

In June, the 15 industries that reported paying increased prices for raw materials, in order, are: Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Machinery; Primary Metals; Wood Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Paper Products; Computer & Electronic Products; Transportation Equipment; Furniture & Related Products; Textile Mills; Chemical Products; and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products. Only one industry (Petroleum & Coal Products) reported paying decreased prices for raw materials in June.

About This Report
DO NOT CONFUSE THIS NATIONAL REPORT with the various regional purchasing reports released across the country. The national report’s information reflects the entire U.S., while the regional reports contain primarily regional data from their local vicinities. Also, the information in the regional reports is not used in calculating the results of the national report. The information compiled in this report is for the month of June 2026.

The data presented herein is obtained from a survey of manufacturing supply executives based on information they have collected within their respective organizations. ISM® makes no representation, other than that stated within this release, regarding the individual company data collection procedures. The data should be compared to all other economic data sources when used in decision-making.

Data and Method of Presentation
The ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report is based on data compiled from purchasing and supply executives nationwide. The composition of the Manufacturing Business Survey Panel is stratified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and each of the following NAICS-based industries’ contribution to gross domestic product (GDP): Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Textile Mills; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; Wood Products; Paper Products; Printing & Related Support Activities; Petroleum & Coal Products; Chemical Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Primary Metals; Fabricated Metal Products; Machinery; Computer & Electronic Products; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Transportation Equipment; Furniture & Related Products; and Miscellaneous Manufacturing (products such as medical equipment and supplies, jewelry, sporting goods, toys and office supplies). The data are weighted based on each industry’s contribution to GDP. According to U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimates (the average of the fourth quarter 2024 GDP estimate and the GDP estimates for first, second, and third quarter 2025, as released on January 22, 2026), the six largest manufacturing industries are: Chemical Products; Transportation Equipment; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Computer & Electronic Products; Machinery; and Petroleum & Coal Products.

Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month. For nine indicators (New Orders, Backlog of Orders, New Export Orders, Imports, Production, Supplier Deliveries, Inventories, Employment, and Prices), this report shows the percentage reporting each response, the net difference between the number of responses in the positive economic direction (higher, better and slower for Supplier Deliveries) and the negative economic direction (lower, worse and faster for Supplier Deliveries), and the diffusion index. For Customers’ Inventories, respondents report their assessment of their customers’ stock levels of respondent companies’ products this month (rather than last month): too high, about right, and too low. Responses are raw data and are never changed. The diffusion index includes the percent of positive responses plus one-half of those responding the same (considered positive).

The resulting single index number for those meeting the criteria for seasonal adjustments (Manufacturing PMI®, New Orders, Production, Employment and Inventories) is then seasonally adjusted to allow for the effects of repetitive intra-year variations resulting primarily from normal differences in weather conditions, various institutional arrangements, and differences attributable to non-moveable holidays. All seasonal adjustment factors are subject annually to relatively minor changes when conditions warrant them. The Manufacturing PMI® is a composite index based on the diffusion indexes of five of the indexes with equal weights: New Orders (seasonally adjusted), Production (seasonally adjusted), Employment (seasonally adjusted), Supplier Deliveries, and Inventories (seasonally adjusted).

Diffusion indexes have the properties of leading indicators and are convenient summary measures showing the prevailing direction of change and the scope of change. A Manufacturing PMI® reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally declining. A Manufacturing PMI® above 47.5 percent, over a period of time, indicates that the overall economy, or gross domestic product (GDP), is generally expanding; below 47.5 percent, it is generally declining. The distance from 50 percent or 47.5 percent is indicative of the extent of the expansion or decline. With some of the indicators within this report, ISM® has indicated the departure point between expansion and decline of comparable government series, as determined by regression analysis. For the Customers’ Inventories Index, numerically, a reading: above 50 percent is “too high,” equal to 50 percent is “about right,” and below 50 percent is “too low.” However, in practice and in the context of other data, customers’ inventories may be considered to be “about right” if the diffusion index is between 52 percent (the high side of about right) and 48 percent (the low side of about right).

The ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report survey is sent out to Manufacturing Business Survey Panel respondents the first part of each month. Respondents are asked to report on information for the current month for U.S. operations only. ISM® receives survey responses throughout most of any given month, with the majority of respondents generally waiting until late in the month to submit responses to give the most accurate picture of current business activity. ISM® then compiles the report for release on the first business day of the following month.

The industries reporting growth, as indicated in the ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report, are listed in the order of most growth to least growth. For the industries reporting contraction or decreases, those are listed in the order of the highest level of contraction/decrease to the least level of contraction/decrease.

Responses to Buying Policy reflect the percent reporting the current month’s lead time, the approximate weighted number of days ahead for which commitments are made for Capital Expenditures; Production Materials; and Maintenance, Repair and Operating (MRO) Supplies, expressed as hand-to-mouth (five days), 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, six months (180 days), a year or more (360 days), and the weighted average number of days. These responses are raw data, never revised, and not seasonally adjusted.
