ISM Manufacturing Index for SEPTEMBER 2025

Earlier today, the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) released their Manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI®) for September, 2025:

=========

Predicted: 49.0%

• Actual: 49.1% (+0.4 point month-on-month change)

=========

Previous month: 48.7%

=========

Every month, the ISM surveys purchasing and supply executives at hundreds of companies across the country who are involved in manufacturing in some form. The resulting index is watched closely by academics, economists and investors because manufacturing accounts for about 12% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The PMI is a reliable barometer of U.S. manufacturing: A PMI above 50% implies that U.S. manufacturing expanded during the month specified, while a reading below 50% implies that the made-in-the-USA sector contracted.

=========

From Today's Report:

"...Economic activity in the manufacturing sector contracted in September for the seventh consecutive month, following a two-month expansion preceded by 26 straight months of contraction, say the nation's supply executives in the latest ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report..."

=========

The Following Is A Sampling Of Quotes
From A Diverse Pool Of U.S. Manufacturers:

•     'Business continues to be severely depressed. Profits are down and extreme taxes (tariffs) are being shouldered by all companies in our space. We have increased price pressures both to our inputs and customer outputs as companies are starting to pass on tariffs via surcharges, raising prices up to 20 percent. The addition of the derivative steel and aluminum tariffs in the middle of the month -- with no announcement -- was devastating. Interest-rate lowering or the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ will not impact our business, as all capital projects are on hold until there is some level of certainty and customers start to place orders for new equipment again. We believe we are in a stagflation period where prices are up but orders are down due to tariff policy, and again, customers are not willing to pay the higher prices, so they are just not buying. Continuing to find ways to reduce overhead, which means letting go of experienced workers.'
   (Transportation Equipment)
  

 

•     'The tariffs are still causing issues with imported goods into the U.S. In addition to the cost concerns, product is being held up at borders due to documentation issues. The inflation issues continue; low volumes are a constant concern. The European region is not improving as we had expected, causing further concern for long-term business viability.'
   (Chemical Products)
  

 

•     'Ongoing macroeconomic conditions highlighted by interest-rate management and tariffs continue to impact customer purchasing decisions, resulting in subdued production rates and growing cost concerns on direct material and operations.'
   (Machinery)
  

 

•     'Lead times have slightly normalized, but tariffs continue to drive additional spend.'
   (Petroleum & Coal Products)
  

 

•     'Customer orders are depressed for heavy machinery because tariffs are so impactful to high-end capital equipment. Revenue expectations are flat for the rest of 2025, with no outlook to improve in 2026.'
   (Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components)
  

 

•     'Current business conditions remain volatile, with geopolitical tensions, weather disruptions and shifting trade policies driving uncertainty in agricultural commodities. Oils remain sensitive to biofuel demand and global production. Inflation and evolving consumer trends add further complexity. To manage this, we are emphasizing supplier diversification, long-term contracts and formula-based pricing to balance cost stability with flexibility.'
   (Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products)
  

 

•     'The semiconductor industry is being impacted by high tariff prices on parts from Korea, China and Europe. Our industry is at a low point right now as we race to get new nanotechnology in the U.S.'
   (Computer & Electronic Products)
  

 

•     'Business is slowing down. Order books are softening as customers push orders out. Seems to be stemming from concerns about the direction of the U.S. economy.'
   (Plastics & Rubber Products)
  

 

•     'Tariffs still affecting vast amounts of increases in hardware, Al (artificial intelligence) and stainless steel. MRO (maintenance, repair and operating) products have continually increased, and the slowdown in agriculture has had stark impacts on bottom lines for raw materials.'
   (Fabricated Metal Products) 

•     'Steel tariffs are killing us.'
   (Miscellaneous Manufacturing)

"...INFLATION

The net percent of owners raising average selling prices fell 3 points from July to a net 21% (seasonally adjusted), the lowest reading of this year. Despite the decline, price increases remain above the average of a net 13%, suggesting continued inflationary pressure. Eleven percent of owners reported that inflation was their single most important problem in operating their business (higher input costs), unchanged for the third consecutive month. Tariffs may be starting to impact pricing. Unadjusted, 33% reported higher average prices (down 4 points), and 13% reported lower average selling prices (up 1 point). 

Price hikes were most frequent in construction (42% higher, 12% lower), finance (41% higher, 15% lower), manufacturing (40% higher, 8% lower), and services (39% higher, 3% lower). Notably, the percent of firms raising prices in the wholesale industry fell 32 points from last month. Looking forward to the next three months, a net 26% (seasonally adjusted) plan to increase prices, down 2 points from July.


CREDIT MARKETS

A net 3% reported their last loan was harder to get than in previous attempts, down 1 point from July. Credit availability is not a serious problem for small firms. In August, a net 6% of owners reported paying a higher rate on their most recent loan, up 1 point from July. In August, the average rate paid on short maturity loans was 8.1%, down 0.6 points from July and the lowest reading since May 2023. Twenty-three percent of all owners reported borrowing on a regular basis, down 2 points from July. The last time the percent of business owners borrowing on a regular basis was below 23% was in November 2021..."
