Manufacturing sales edged up 0.3% to $68.5 billion in June, following four consecutive monthly declines. Sales rose in 13 of 21 subsectors, led by the petroleum and coal (+11.8%) and food (+2.5%) product subsectors. These increases were partly offset by a 5.0% decline in the transportation equipment subsector. Despite the overall monthly increase, total manufacturing sales were 2.7% lower on a year-over-year basis in June.
In constant dollars, total sales were unchanged in June, while the Industrial Product Price Index rose 0.4%.
On a quarterly basis, sales declined 4.8% to $206.0 billion in the second quarter, the largest quarterly decline since the second quarter of 2020. The petroleum and coal product (-18.0%), transportation equipment (-6.5%) and primary metal (-10.6%) subsectors were the largest contributors to the decline in the second quarter of 2025. In contrast, food product sales posted the largest quarterly increase, up 0.5% to $39.1 billion.
