Overview
- INEGI's Q1 2026 ETEF data show Jalisco exported $17,377.5 million, a roughly 106–107% year-on-year increase that lifted it into second place nationally.
- Electronics dominated Jalisco's trade with $13,727.3 million in exports, equal to about 79% of the state's total and driven by computer, communication and measurement components.
- Mexico's overall exports rose to $158,117.5 million in Q1 2026, up 17.9% year-on-year, with Chihuahua leading at $35,986.2 million and seven states accounting for most export value.
- Querétaro posted a record first quarter of $4,661.0 million, up 14.5% year-on-year, led by transport equipment that made up more than half of its exports.
- Officials warn that the manufacturing-led rebound creates jobs in advanced production but also leaves states exposed to sector-specific shocks and trade uncertainty, prompting new state programs to broaden export bases.
