If you’re thinking about transitioning manufacturing operations to Mexico, you may be curious about which industries are most prevalent here. Mexico’s manufacturing capabilities have grown exponentially in the past decade, and as a result, some of the world’s largest industries have chosen our country as a production (and even customer service) hub. Here’s a look at some of Mexico’s strengths:
Automotive
Over the course of the past decade, the country has had a remarkable surge in automotive manufacturing capabilities. Many of the world’s largest assemblers have plants here, including recognizable names such as Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, and Toyota. The automotive industry is a heavy lifter for Mexico’s economy, accounting for approximately 20.2% of the country’s GDP.
Aerospace
Aerospace manufacturing is a quickly-growing industry here in Mexico. Aerospace and aviation companies are flocking to Mexico to secure low-cost manufacturing, faster lead times, and reduced transportation costs. The Mexican government has taken note of the success of manufacturing for the aerospace industry, and has created a comprehensive plan to attract more overseas clients in the years to come.
Medical Devices
Did you know that Mexico is now one of the largest exporters of medical devices? It’s predicted that the exportation of medical devices will continue to grow rapidly to become one of the country’s most important industries by 2025. Assembling medical devices is a complicated process and is best left to highly-skilled workers–one of the main reasons that Mexico’s labor force shines within this industry.
Electronics
When you think of electronics manufacturing, your mind may immediately go to China. While it’s true that China still dominates in this industry, Mexico is quickly becoming a competitor. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the electronics industry is one of the fastest-growing production categories here.
Customer Service
Offshore call centers are common, with India and China being two of the primary countries to provide outsourced customer service. If you’re on the search for high-quality customer service that’s closer to home, Mexico may be an excellent option. Many of our citizens are bilingual, aiding in ease of communication.
If you’re ready to save money without sacrificing quality, transitioning manufacturing operations to Mexico is often an excellent strategy.
