Country research
Research on Mexican participation in North American production, industrial investment, electricity and logistics.
North American sourcing connects Mexican production with imported inputs and final demand across the region. A rise in exports or an investment announcement does not by itself establish an equivalent increase in domestic value added. Research examines supplier relationships, production stages and the capacity required to expand output.
Rules of origin affect eligibility for trade treatment, while electricity access, transport and project authorizations affect the feasibility of production. These conditions operate through different legal and physical channels. Investment decisions must account for both market access and the delivery of reliable inputs.
| Research dimension | Measure | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Production links | Manufacturing exports and domestic content | Distinguish gross shipments from value added generated locally. |
| Investment | New projects, expenditure and operating capacity | Separate announced commitments from construction and production. |
| Infrastructure | Electricity connections and transport service | Identify the location, usable capacity and timing of access. |
INEGI’s preliminary 2023 global-manufacturing-export measure separates imported inputs from direct manufacturing value added and domestically sourced intermediates. The production study explains why its reported share cannot be transferred to every exporter or treated as a complete value-added decomposition. The industrial-expansion study examines the electricity and logistics conditions needed to turn investment into output.
Research Report
A change in direct import partners can exceed the shift in upstream value added. Official production evidence and reproducible supply-chain examples distinguish relocation, supplier development, ownership, routing, and the dependencies relevant to resilience.

Financial inflows and project announcements do not establish operating capacity. Official reporting from five economies and an original project ledger separate expenditure, acquisitions, construction, commissioning, utilization, and the timing of realized production.
Read the analysisEconomy Study
Mexico's manufacturing exports combine domestic production with imported intermediates. INEGI's export-content methodology clarifies the distinction between direct value added, domestic procurement, and full supply-chain income, providing a basis for assessing deeper North American production linkages.

Economy Study
Mexico's industrial location advantage depends on reliable electricity and door-to-door logistics. The analysis distinguishes national energy plans from site-level connections and examines how service timing, power quality, border procedures, and utilization shape the return to manufacturing investment.
Policy Brief
North American origin rules create product-specific compliance requirements rather than a simple domestic-content test. This brief examines how legal qualification, sourcing costs, and preferential tariff savings influence commercial supply-chain decisions.
Policy Brief
Mexican industrial electricity access depends on several authorizations and physical network conditions. This brief separates legal eligibility, technical studies, connection delivery, and operating reliability when assessing a project’s usable production capacity.
Comparative Study
U.S.–Mexico production links distribute income across several stages and borders. Comparable value-added evidence, a regional-content calculation and Mexico’s distinct manufacturing statistic clarify what gross trade can establish about domestic value capture.
Comparative Study
Indonesia's partnership platform, Vietnam's supplier-development record, and Mexico's national-content accounts observe different stages of industrial integration. An original procurement example separates local invoices from local production and identifies the evidence needed to assess durable supplier capabilities.
Data Note
Gross exports include imported inputs and domestic intermediate transactions. A simplified Mexican supply chain identifies the domestic value added embodied in an export and separates it from exporter revenue and household income.
