Overview
- COMCE projects goods exports to grow 6% in 2025 to about $660 billion and 6.5% in 2026 to roughly $700 billion.
- The group expects foreign direct investment at about $43.2 billion in 2025 and within $40–45 billion in 2026, after $40.9 billion flowed in during January–September 2025.
- Manufacturing remains the main engine for both exports and investment, with recent megaprojects centered on Industry 4.0 technologies such as robotics, automation and software.
- Nearshoring and friendshoring are flagged as 2026 opportunities, with the United States the largest investor and Spain’s share rising.
- COMCE urges a coordinated industrial policy, including a “Made in Mexico Quality” brand and STEM-focused training, to lift value added and strengthen regional supply chains.
