United Mexican States

Openness to Foreign Direct Investment

The Mexican government supports and encourages foreign direct investment. Due to its macroeconomic stability, rapidly growing customer base, and increasingly mature labor market, the region is attracting investors. The United States has historically been Mexico's largest source of foreign direct investment. Today, Mexico continues to attract a growing number of global investors, positioning the country among the top 15 in foreign direct investment worldwide.

Multilateral Trade Agreements

Mexico has trade agreements with over 50 countries, including the USMCA (formerly NAFTA), Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), EU-Mexico Trade Agreement, and Pacific Alliance Agreement. These trade agreements give manufacturers access to approximately 60% of the world’s markets, driving growth in foreign investment.

Diversified Economy

Mexico’s economy spans agriculture, industry, and services, providing stability for investors. With strong production capabilities, the country is a major global exporter. Mexico has expanded beyond raw materials to integrate its products into regional and global value chains, and nearshoring trends have further strengthened its position as a competitive manufacturing hub.

Continuously Growing Domestic Market

Mexico has over 130 million consumers and a growing middle class with increasing disposable income. Since the implementation of free trade agreements, living standards have steadily improved, with the middle class accounting for approximately 47% of the population. The growth in manufacturing and energy sectors continues to increase household income and purchasing power across the country.

About Mexico

Mexico is Latin America’s second-largest economy with USMCA free trade access to the US and Canada, a large skilled manufacturing workforce, and growing nearshoring opportunities across sectors.
