The capacity utilization rate in the United States inched up in May 2026, suggesting a modest strengthening in industrial activity. According to the latest data updated on 15 June 2026, the indicator rose to 76.2%, compared with 76.1% recorded in April 2026.

While the 0.1 percentage point increase is slight, it indicates that U.S. industry is operating at a marginally higher share of its potential output. The move may be monitored by analysts and policymakers as they assess underlying demand conditions and any emerging pressures on productive capacity within the broader economic environment.
