25.3 RELEASE
Here are the official IMPLAN production release notes for version 25.3 released on May 28, 2025.
REGIONS
- Added an automated option to build “rest of” Combined Regions for use in Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) Projects. This option can be used to build rest of state or rest of country Combined Regions when utilizing county or state Regions.
IMPACTS
- Added an option for Industry Impact Analysis (Detailed) Events to specify the Commuting Rate for Employee Compensation earned by Wage and Salary Employees as 100%. Users can still utilize the default Regional Commuting Rate by leaving this option specified as SAM.
- Implemented improvements to Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) Projects to more accurately account for trade and commuting across Regions. These improvements will affect MRIO Projects that utilize IIA or Labor Income Events, as well as Projects using non-default Aggregation Schemes.
- Improved the logic of Industry Impact Analysis (IIA) Events by deflating Employee Compensation and Proprietor Income Event Values prior to calculating impacts.
- Improved the logic of Industry Impact Analysis (IIA) Events in government payroll Industries to avoid unexpected negative Results and negative value warning messages.
PROJECTS
- Added an embeddable map to the Results page of all IMPLAN Projects to expand the reporting experience for IMPLAN users.
- Added a summary report for Project Results that utilize Canada and International based Regions. This summary report will provide high level insights for the economic indicator and tax Results from the Project as a whole. This report can be found under the Summary menu as the Simplified Overview Dashboard.
- Added a notification message for when a user opens a Project that was run prior to a recent Product Update. This message will suggest that users make a copy of the Project prior to making further modifications. This will allow users to maintain their historical Results that may change based on Product improvements.
DATA LIBRARY
- Improved Data Library Dashboards by redesigning the filters and adding an info button that provides more details on the data asset being used.

Additionally, any existing Custom Industry Aggregation Scheme that utilizes the 546 Industry set can be updated to an equivalent aggregation scheme utilizing the 528 Industry Set.
EVENT TEMPLATE
- Improved the Event Template for the U.S. 528 Industry Set. This template now includes an optional NAICS lookup column for all Industry Event types. This column allows users to enter a 6-Digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code instead of an IMPLAN Industry code. This feature will automatically return the equivalent IMPLAN Industry within the Event Template to be used in the analysis.
PROJECTS
- Added a tooltip to the Project page. The tooltip will display the full nested Project location when hovering over a Project found using the search bar.
