Nuevo León Leads Industrial Park Development in Mexico

Nuevo León Leads Industrial Park Development in Mexico

Nuevo León spearheads industrial park growth in Mexico, driven by automotive investments and nearshoring logistics.

Nuevo León remains a strategic hub for industrial development in Mexico. The progress of industrial parks, the

in 2025, and logistics expansion linked to nearshoring marked the year’s end. During the fourth quarter, Cluster Industrial B2B recorded 44 automotive investments, seven of which were directly related to industrial parks. Although the number of projects was lower compared to previous quarters, these projects accounted for over 65% of the total amount invested between October and December, confirming a focus on larger-scale and specialized developments.

What Do National Data Show About Industrial Parks in 2025?

In the fourth quarter, 407.1 hectares entered construction, a figure representing a year-over-year decrease of -85.7%. However, the market did not lose structural dynamism. Developers adjusted their strategy, prioritizing large-scale projects with prime locations and high specialization. Furthermore, they responded to two clear needs: absorbing new investments in auto parts and

, and strengthening logistics infrastructure in the face of regionalized supply chains.

Which States Concentrated the Most Industrial Investment?

The North and Bajío regions led the development.

  • Sinaloa led investment with $1,335 million, driven by the Mazatlán Logistics Center, which added 807,000 m².
  • Jalisco ranked second with $1,248.9 million across seven projects and 1,227,507 m² under construction.
  • Nuevo León reported $876.3 million across eight projects.

Aguascalientes ($157.95 million), Guanajuato ($97.12 million), and Estado de México ($194.6 million) also stood out, with these entities strengthening their infrastructure for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.

How Did the Mexican Industrial Market Close the Year?

By the end of 2025, Mexico had accumulated 2,274.1 hectares under construction. Although the total annual investment amount fell by -61.38%, the number of projects grew by 0.9%, with 36 registered developments.

How Is Nuevo León Positioned in This Scenario?

Nuevo León reaffirmed its leadership in developed area. The state accumulated 6.46 million m², the highest figure nationwide. Developers like FINSA promoted strategic projects in the Monterrey metropolitan area. The firm invested $360 million in Apodaca, $220 million in García, and $48 million in Escobedo.

This dynamism consolidates Monterrey as a key logistics hub for the northern automotive corridor. The combination of talent, connectivity, and regulatory certainty strengthens its competitiveness. Furthermore, the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP) registers 79 affiliated industrial parks, which supports the institutional robustness of the sector.

What Do Industrial Parks Anticipate for 2026?

Industrial parks will serve as a barometer for automotive reactivation in 2026. New investments in electromobility, auto parts, and advanced manufacturing will depend on USMCA regulatory adjustments and the commercial environment in North America. Furthermore, the regionalization of supply chains will drive more specialized and efficient developments. Investors will prioritize legal certainty, energy infrastructure, and integrated logistics.

Consequently, industrial infrastructure has ceased to be merely a complement. It now represents the foundation of the next production cycle. Nuevo León leads this transition with record area and high-impact projects.
