Introduction to the Minnesota Manufacturing Index

Minnesota’s manufacturing sector continues to evolve amid changing demand, trade conditions, and workforce pressures. To help manufacturers navigate this environment, Boyum’s Manufacturing Team closely monitors key economic indicators impacting both Minnesota and national manufacturing activity.

The Minnesota Manufacturing Index brings these indicators together in one place, outlining the data points industry leaders rely on to assess current conditions and anticipate what’s ahead. This initial report serves as an introduction to the indicators we track, explaining what each measure represents and why it matters to manufacturers.

Future editions of the Index will build on this foundation, providing timely, data-driven analysis and insights as trends develop. Our goal is to equip manufacturers with practical, objective information that supports informed decision-making in an evolving economic landscape.
