PMI-BI Q3 2026 at 52.28%: Non-Metallic Minerals Highest

PMI-BI Q3 2026 was 52.28%, up from 51.43% in Q2 and still above 50 (expansion phase), per a Bank Indonesia statement quoted by ANTARA (Monday, 19 October 2026). The highest sub-sector was the non-metallic mineral products industry at 55.79%. For building-material readers, the non-metallic mineral products index Indonesia 2026 matters because in the BPS classification (KBLI 2020, group 23) this group covers glass, ceramics and clay products, cement, lime, gypsum and cement products. This summarizes Indonesia manufacturing performance Q3 2026 as of 23 October 2026; the index is a survey direction, not sales volume or price, and its link to building stores is homeX analysis only.

PMI-BI Q3 2026: components and sub-sectors

Indicator	Q3 2026	Comparison	Note	Source
PMI-BI (manufacturing)	52.28%	Q2 51.43%; change +0.85 points (homeX calculation)	Above 50 = expansion phase	ANTARA
PMI-BI forecast for Q4 2026	52.37%	BI forecast, rising	A forecast, not an outcome	ANTARA
Component: finished goods inventory volume	54.80%	Expansion phase	An index, not unit counts	ANTARA
Component: production volume	54.31%	Expansion phase	Index	ANTARA
Component: total orders volume	53.34%	Expansion phase	Index	ANTARA
Sub-sector: non-metallic mineral products	55.79%	Highest; above the overall PMI-BI by +3.51 points (homeX calculation)	Covers glass, ceramics, cement, lime, gypsum (KBLI 23)	ANTARA
Sub-sector: food and beverages	55.03%	Second highest	Not a building material	ANTARA
Sub-sector: basic metals	54.17%	Third	Relevant to iron and steel; not broken down by product	ANTARA
Sub-sector: rubber, rubber and plastic goods	52.63%	Fourth	Whether this includes plastic pipes is not detailed by the source	ANTARA
Sub-sector: textiles and garments	52.40%	Fifth	Not a building material	ANTARA
SKDU: manufacturing business activity (net weighted balance)	1.53%	Rising	BI Business Activity Survey; consistent with PMI-BI	ANTARA

PMI-BI and SKDU figures come from an ANTARA article quoting a Bank Indonesia statement (the BI Communication Department Executive Director), opened on 23 October 2026. The definition of group 23 comes from the KBLI 2020 document on the BPS PPID site. The point differences are homeX calculations and the link to building stores is homeX analysis, not data. Data gaps: the BI release page could not be opened from our server so we do not link it; Q3 2025 figures, sub-sector weights, respondent counts and product-level detail (for example cement or ceramics alone) were not read; there is no building-store sales data.

How to read PMI-BI: above 50 means expansion

ANTARA writes that the expansion phase means an index above 50 percent. So 52.28% shows expansion, and 55.79% for non-metallic minerals shows stronger expansion than the manufacturing average. The index measures the direction of change per a survey, not how much is produced or sold, and not prices. It is a separate series from the monthly manufacturing PMI and the IKI that we cover in other articles.

Non-metallic minerals and building materials: what can and cannot be concluded

Per KBLI 2020, group 23 covers glass and glass products, clay/ceramic building materials, cement, lime and gypsum, products of cement, lime, gypsum and asbestos, and stone products. So this index reflects the direction of orders and output of industries that make many building materials, but also other products such as refractory goods. homeX analysis: the signal is positive on the supply side, but it does not prove that building-store demand is rising or that prices will change. For demand, see the cement consumption and construction credit data in our articles.

What to watch next

BI forecasts a Q4 2026 PMI-BI of 52.37%, slightly above the Q3 outcome. That is a forecast, not a result. Companion indicators we track: monthly cement consumption, the BI-Rate and LTV limit, construction credit, and the monthly manufacturing PMI and IKI; links are in the related articles section.

Buyer tips

Read the index as a direction, not sales or prices.
Compare PMI-BI with cement consumption and construction credit data before concluding.
Check the official BI release for full figures and revisions.
For project purchases, still ask for a written, dated price quote.
