Industrial Corridors in Mexico

Industrial Corridors in Mexico

The industrial corridors in Mexico play a crucial role in economic development and attracting foreign investment, as they concentrate infrastructure, services, and skilled labor that facilitate the operations of both national and international companies.

The company has focused on covering two major trade routes in the country: Highway 57 (Mexico-San Luis-Laredo) and Highway 45 (Querétaro-Guadalajara-Ciudad Juárez). “There is a hotel of ours every two hours along these routes,” as well as near the automotive industry, mentioned Alberto Granados, Operations Director of Norte 19 (El Economista, n.d.).

These corridors, strategically located in regions with access to transport networks such as roads, ports, and railways, enable the rapid distribution of products both in the domestic market and for export. Their proximity to the United States, especially in the case of the northern corridors, further enhances their appeal to global companies looking to benefit from the USMCA and other trade agreements.
According to figures from the Ministry of Economy, San Luis Potosí has attracted $1.1 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI).

This not only stimulates local employment and economic growth in the regions where they are located but also positions Mexico as a preferred destination for the nearshoring of global supply chains, enhancing competitiveness on an international level. In this context, the proposal from the Federal Government envisions the creation of ten industrial corridors across the country, distributed as follows: Baja California, Northeast, Bajío, Pacific, Central Mexico, Border Region, AIFA, Gulf, the Maya region, and the Trans-Isthmus region.
