The United States' service sector experienced a minor contraction in December, as revealed by the latest S&P Global Services PMI report. The index, which serves as a critical barometer for the health of the service industry, inched down to 52.5 from the previous reading of 52.9 recorded earlier in December 2025. These figures were updated on January 6, 2026.

The marginal decline indicates persistent, yet modest, expansion within the U.S. service sector, as any figure above the neutral 50 mark suggests growth. However, the slowdown reflects potential headwinds faced by service-oriented businesses, possibly ranging from fluctuating consumer demands to broader economic challenges.

Economists and market analysts are closely monitoring the situation, given the services sector's substantial contribution to the U.S. economy. This sector encompasses various fields, including finance, healthcare, and tourism, and its performance is often a bellwether for overall economic health. The slightly lower PMI could signal the need for strategic adjustments to maintain robust growth and competitiveness moving forward.
