According to the ranking, Mexico is positioned ninth in logistics and distribution in emerging markets worldwide by the year 2023. This means that Mexico is an attractive destination for investment in logistics and distribution, and that there is great potential for growth in this sector in the country.
Infrastructure and technology
In recent years, Mexico has shown significant development in infrastructure, innovation, and technology in the logistics field, which has contributed to the growth of the Mexican economy. In addition, the country has a strategic location and great connectivity with the Latin American and North American markets, which makes it an attractive option for companies looking to expand in the region. In this sense, logistics companies in Mexico have had to adapt to the demands and needs of their customers, offering increasingly efficient and personalized solutions. Investment in technology and the implementation of innovative processes are key to staying competitive in the market.
On the other hand, electronic commerce has experienced exponential growth in Mexico in recent years, which has boosted the logistics and distribution sector. Logistics companies must be prepared to face the challenges that e-commerce brings, such as fast and safe delivery of products, returns management and customer service.
Mexican labor, competitive advantage
The low cost of labor in Mexico is one of the main reasons why foreign manufacturers have chosen to carry out their production operations in the country. According to IHS Markit, the average wage in the manufacturing industry in 2022 in Mexico is $3.90 per hour.
The comparable wage in the United States is $30 per hour.
Mexico also has an abundant and growing labor resource with an estimated 7 million people available to work. The government will have an important role to play in creating a well-trained and qualified workforce.
In addition, the United States government has committed to investing $1.4 billion to build and modernize land ports on the United States-Mexico border.
However, Mexico has the lowest level of public investment, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD).
In conclusion, Mexico is positioned as an attractive destination for investment in logistics and distribution, thanks to its infrastructure, cheap workforce, strategic location, and growth potential in the sector. As Hysa, we are committed to continue working to offer quality logistics solutions and contribute to the growth of the Mexican economy.
