Why Mexico

Evaluate Mexico as an FDI and Operating Location

Mexico's USMCA participation, proximity to the United States and established manufacturing base make it relevant to many North American expansion strategies. The actual case depends on sector, location, labor, infrastructure, customs and project economics.

The country has diversified beyond automotive and electronics — with growing sectors in energy, aerospace, agribusiness, healthcare, and digital services — creating broad opportunities across industries.

Industrial markets in Monterrey, Tijuana, Juárez, the Bajío and other manufacturing regions
Location-specific workforce, utility and operating-cost considerations
Cross-border, highway, rail, airport and port logistics depending on the site
Energy and utility requirements that should be screened before site commitment
Baja California–Southern California coordination for qualifying cross-border projects

USMCA Advantage

As a USMCA member, Mexico offers preferential trade conditions with the United States and Canada — which can support North American production strategies when the product, rules of origin, customs treatment and operating model qualify.

Preferential Treatment
May apply to qualifying goods subject to USMCA rules and customs requirements
Rules of Origin
Clear regional content requirements for sector compliance
IP Framework
Cross-border IP requirements should be reviewed for the specific business and transaction
Legal Framework
Treaty and domestic-law protections depend on the investment, sector and applicable provisions
