Mexico's Industrial Real Estate Sector and Foreign Direct Investment

Mexico is one of the emerging countries with the highest foreign direct investment (FDI) receipts and the ninth largest recipient of FDI in the world, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report 2021. In 2021, total FDI in Mexico was estimated at US$31.261 billion of which 49% of that investment is estimated to be in the manufacturing sector.

Meanwhile, during the first half of 2022, according to data from the Ministry of Economy, Mexico attracted 27,511 million dollars of FDI, of which 34.3% corresponded to the manufacturing sector, with the most significant countries being the United States and Canada.

Why would a foreign investor consider investing his money in Mexico? Undoubtedly, Mexico has everything to provide long-term returns. The country has: a privileged geographic location, being a neighbor of the world's largest economy, natural resources, skilled labor, international treaties, solid financial institutions and it is also a member of the T-MEC, the OECD, the G20 and the Pacific Alliance.

How has FDI in Mexico affected the Industrial Real Estate industry?

The continuous flow of FDI in the manufacturing sector has allowed the industrial real estate industry to evolve positively in Mexico over the years, but during the last few years, in a relatively short period of time, this industry has undergone profound transformations that have not been seen for a long time.

These are some examples of how the industry has evolved in recent years as a result of FDI in Mexico.

And although every change brings with it additional challenges, we must see that these figures represent: job creation, the opportunity to continue with the evolution of the market in this industry, etc., so it is essential to continue promoting the fact that Mexico is and will continue to be the place to grow investments and obtain growth returns.

Undoubtedly, there is a high demand for industrial spaces that should be taken advantage of to continue supporting and encouraging foreign investment in Mexico, even when there is limited infrastructure supply, it is also an opportunity to let creativity and innovation enter, structuring negotiations, spaces or products in a different way than usual, for example.

What is certain is that Mexico, despite the adversities and challenges it faces, will continue to have much to offer.
