If you’re ready to find a manufacturing partner, you may have heard about Mexico’s benefits. Mexico’s manufacturing capabilities continue to grow, and the country has recently surpassed China as the top trading partner to the U.S. Although China has long been considered the top choice for manufacturing, the tides have begun to change, and there seems to be no turning back. As tensions with China rise and international shipping costs remain high, Mexico is an increasingly appealing choice. Our team will walk you through the process if you’re interested in exploring contract manufacturers in Mexico. Here’s an overview of why Mexico is a stable location for manufacturing:
Proximity to the United States
We all remember the headaches caused by significant supply chain disruption during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Even though we’re through the worst of the issues, you can have peace of mind and faster lead times by working with a manufacturer in Mexico. Without the long journey overseas, your products will arrive more quickly (and inexpensively).
A Growing Economy
Mexico’s economy is growing, and it will undoubtedly continue to focus on increasing its manufacturing prowess. Manufacturing has become a critical part of Mexico’s economy and has contributed to the country’s 3.2% economic growth in 2023. If you prioritize excellent quality, you’ll want to consider Mexico a manufacturing hub. As the economy surges, more manufacturing facilities will have the resources to continue developing production sites. Cutting-edge technology and innovations are already on the rise and will only get better in the future.
A Young and Skilled Labor Force
If you’re searching for a long-term supply chain partner, it’s hard to compete with the strength of Mexico’s labor force. Mexico is home to a disproportionately young population, which is part of why the economy is expected to grow rapidly. Especially near the border, the workforce is highly skilled and capable of expertly handling various manufacturing projects.
Selecting a location for manufacturing is a momentous decision, but it’s easy to see why Mexico is increasingly the choice of top U.S. companies.
