Challenges, uncertainty and insecurity are just the beginning of the outlook for the trucking sector in Mexico, marked by a projected economic slowdown and an uncertain global context.
Are there any barriers that this sector cannot overcome? Its history has shown us otherwise. As Augusto Ramos, secretary general of the National Chamber of Cargo Transport (Canacar) , said, they are “warriors behind the wheel” and not just the operators, but the sector in general.
According to the Survey on the Expectations of Private Sector Economic Specialists published by the Bank of Mexico last January, GDP growth for 2025 is estimated at just 1.07%, with an environment of controlled inflation, but with an expected depreciation of the peso against the dollar.
This situation could generate additional pressures on transport costs and affect the competitiveness of the sector.
“2025 will be a year with a low cycle. It is a period that brings the result of a restrictive monetary strategy of previous years with high rates and low inflation,” explains Bismark Uribe, a consultant for transport companies.
Augusto Ramos warned during a logistics event that economic uncertainty has led businessmen to reconsider key investments, such as vehicle renovation, and although there is speculation about the future economy, he trusts in the need for trade exchange between Mexico, the United States and Canada.
