Following two consecutive monthly declines, manufacturing sales increased 0.6% to $71.0 billion in December, with gains in 12 of the 21 subsectors. Higher sales of motor vehicles (+12.0%) and food products (+2.0%) contributed the most to the increase. These gains were partially offset by a 5.1% decline in petroleum and coal product sales. Compared to December 2024, total manufacturing sales were down 1.1%.
