Executive Summary

Industrial parks in Mexico are strategically located across several key manufacturing regions that support export-oriented industries and global supply chains.

Today, more than 450 industrial parks operate across Mexico, forming the backbone of the country’s manufacturing economy. These parks are primarily concentrated in regions with strong logistics connectivity, access to skilled labor, and proximity to the United States.

The largest clusters of industrial parks are located in:

• Northern border states
• The Bajío manufacturing corridor
• Central Mexico logistics hubs
• Emerging industrial regions in southern Mexico

For companies considering manufacturing in Mexico, understanding where industrial parks are located is essential for making informed site selection decisions.

Why Industrial Parks Are Located in Specific Regions

Industrial parks in Mexico are not evenly distributed across the country. Instead, they are concentrated in regions that offer strategic advantages for manufacturing and export operations.

Key factors that influence the location of industrial parks include:

• proximity to the U.S. border
• logistics infrastructure such as highways and rail networks
• availability of skilled labor
• access to industrial utilities such as electricity and water
• presence of existing industrial supply chains

These factors have shaped Mexico’s main manufacturing regions over the past three decades.

Northern Mexico: The Largest Industrial Park Concentration

Northern Mexico hosts the highest concentration of industrial parks in the country, primarily because of its proximity to the United States.

Manufacturing facilities in northern Mexico can ship products directly into the U.S. market within hours, making the region ideal for export-oriented production.

Major industrial hubs in northern Mexico include:

Monterrey

Monterrey is the largest industrial real estate market in Mexico and hosts more than 120 industrial parks in the state of Nuevo León. The region supports automotive manufacturing, electronics production, appliances, and logistics operations.

Tijuana

Tijuana has developed into a major cross-border manufacturing hub and hosts more than 60 industrial parks. Industries in the region include electronics manufacturing, medical devices, and aerospace components.

Ciudad Juárez

Ciudad Juárez is one of Mexico’s largest maquiladora manufacturing centers and hosts more than 50 industrial parks supporting automotive suppliers, electronics manufacturers, and industrial equipment producers.

These cities form part of a broader manufacturing corridor that stretches along Mexico’s northern border.

The Bajío Region: Mexico’s Automotive Manufacturing Corridor

The Bajío region has emerged as one of the most important manufacturing corridors in Mexico.

Over the past two decades, the region has attracted billions of dollars in foreign investment from global automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

Key states in the Bajío region include:

• Guanajuato
• Querétaro
• San Luis Potosí
• Aguascalientes

Together, these states host more than 200 industrial parks, supporting one of the most integrated automotive supply chains in the Western Hemisphere.

Major global companies operating in the region include:

• Toyota
• Honda
• Mazda
• BMW
• General Motors

Industrial parks in the Bajío region often specialize in automotive manufacturing, aerospace components, and advanced manufacturing.

Central Mexico: Logistics and Consumer Markets

Central Mexico hosts numerous industrial parks that support logistics operations and manufacturing serving the domestic market.

Cities in this region benefit from proximity to Mexico City, one of the largest consumer markets in Latin America.

Industrial parks in central Mexico typically support industries such as:

• logistics and distribution
• consumer goods manufacturing
• industrial equipment production

These parks are often located along major highway corridors connecting Mexico City with other industrial regions.

Emerging Industrial Regions in Mexico

Although northern Mexico and the Bajío region remain the dominant manufacturing hubs, new industrial areas are emerging as nearshoring investment accelerates.

Companies are increasingly exploring locations in states such as:

• Coahuila
• Chihuahua
• Durango
• Yucatán
• Veracruz

These regions are beginning to attract new industrial park developments due to infrastructure improvements and growing investor interest.

Nearshoring Is Expanding Industrial Park Development

The global nearshoring trend has significantly increased demand for industrial parks across Mexico.

Companies relocating production from Asia to North America are increasingly selecting Mexico due to:

• proximity to the United States
• strong manufacturing ecosystem
• competitive production costs
• favorable trade agreements such as USMCA

As a result, new industrial park developments are being built across multiple regions of the country.

This expansion is strengthening Mexico’s position as one of the most important manufacturing hubs in the world.

Choosing the Right Industrial Region in Mexico

Although hundreds of industrial parks exist across the country, selecting the right region requires careful analysis.

Companies evaluating industrial parks in Mexico typically consider factors such as:

• logistics connectivity to U.S. border crossings
• electricity and energy infrastructure
• water availability
• workforce access
• supplier ecosystem

Each manufacturing region offers different advantages depending on the industry and supply chain requirements.
