Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)

May 2025

Missouri’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for May 2025 was 53.4, increasing 5.3 points from the April level of 48.1, pushing into expansion territory. The Mid-America region, according to the monthly Mid-America Business Conditions Survey conducted by Creighton University climbed above growth neutral for the fifth consecutive month.

Economists consider the index a key economic indicator. It measures such factors as new orders, production, supplier delivery times, backlogs, inventories, prices, employment, import orders and exports. Typically, a score greater than 50 indicates an expansionary economy while a score below 50 forecasts a sluggish economy. The US May PMI® for manufacturing registered 48.5, down 0.2 from April

Note: The national purchasing manager's indices are produced by the Institute for Supply Management, formerly the Purchasing Management Association.
