Overview
- Comce projected on Wednesday at its 32nd Congress that full‑year 2026 exports will exceed $800 billion, citing INEGI trade data that show about $630 billion through the first nine months of the year.
- More than 90% of Mexico’s shipments are manufactured goods, with automotive, electronics and computer components dominating exports and servers reported to have surged as firms expand AI infrastructure.
- Comce leaders warned that higher export volumes do not automatically raise incomes and called for linking foreign firms with Mexican suppliers and integrating small and medium enterprises so investments create local jobs.
- Regional leaders said the industrial northeast supplies roughly half of export dollars and is preparing infrastructure and trained personnel to handle faster growth while avoiding supply‑chain bottlenecks.
- Industry groups and the Economy Secretariat highlighted T‑MEC reviews and targeted support for semiconductors, aerospace and electronics as key to preserving trade certainty and attracting further investment.
