The Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry (CMIC) expects the sector to grow between 3 and 5 percent by the end of this year, attributing a 1.6 percent expansion in the sector's investment to the economic phenomenon of nearshoring.

About this factor, it is estimated that 40 percent of domestic construction companies have already benefited from this phenomenon.

Other sectors with increases included plastics and rubber (3.5 percent), beverages and tobacco (2.9 percent), and clothing (1.5 percent).

Of the 21 categories that make up the industry, only 14 advanced, with transportation standing out with a 0.7 percent monthly advance. This is consistent with timely figures.

Manufacturing showed no variation, the automotive sector continued to show dynamism, and an acceleration in the U.S. industry in the month also had a positive contribution.
