In recent years, Mexico has experienced an increase in foreign investment in the development of industrial parks, driven by the nearshoring trend. According to a study by the consulting firm RCPH Servicios, between January 2023 and November 2024, China has led these investments with an approximate amount of 5 billion dollars, surpassing domestic investment and other countries such as Australia and the United States.

This phenomenon has generated a growing demand for industrial space in Mexico. Official data indicate that relocation represented 35% of the absorption of these spaces in 2024, equivalent to 1.7 million square meters in the third quarter of that year alone.

The states of Nuevo León, Baja California, Estado de México, Coahuila, and Chihuahua have been the main recipients of these investments, attracting significant capital and generating thousands of skilled jobs. The automotive industry has been particularly prominent, accounting for between 33% and 42% of new facilities and relocation-related expansions.

It is estimated that the inventory of industrial parks could grow by 50% to 70% by the end of Claudia Sheinbaum's six-year term, reaching approximately 150 million square meters of gross rentable area. This growth reflects the confidence of developers and investors in the sector, who see Mexico as a strategic location for the relocation of industrial operations.

China Chamber Mexico welcomed this strengthening of economic relations between China and Mexico, a result of the mutual trust and opportunities that both countries offer in the current global context.
