La industria argentina sigue operando por debajo de su potencial, según datos oficiales
El informe del INDEC sobre la utilización de la capacidad instalada en la industria reveló que el sector continúa funcionando con márgenes ociosos importantes, reflejando un uso parcial del aparato productivo nacional.
El indicador, que mide cuánto de la capacidad productiva disponible se está utilizando efectivamente, se mantiene en niveles considerados bajos en términos históricos, lo que da cuenta de un contexto de actividad industrial débil y heterogénea entre rubros.
Entre los rubros con mayor utilización de la capacidad instalada se destacaron la refinación del petróleo, el papel y cartón, y los productos alimenticios y bebidas, que se ubicaron por encima del promedio general.

La industria utilizó 54,6% de su capacidad instalada durante febrero de 2026 https://t.co/0wQYoGMMe9 pic.twitter.com/Oejmx9RIf3
En el otro extremo, ramas como la industria automotriz, los productos textiles y el caucho y plástico mostraron niveles significativamente más bajos de actividad, evidenciando la disparidad en el desempeño del entramado industrial.
Un indicador clave para medir la actividad económica
La utilización de la capacidad instalada es uno de los termómetros centrales para evaluar el nivel de actividad industrial, ya que permite observar no solo la producción, sino también el grado de aprovechamiento del capital productivo existente.
En este sentido, el informe del INDEC vuelve a reflejar un escenario de recuperación desigual, con sectores dinámicos conviviendo con otros aún rezagados.
