Trade between Mexico and the United States increased by 3.3% in the period from January to September 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was driven by a 5.5% rise in Mexican exports to the United States, while exports to Mexico increased by 0.1% during the same period, according to data from the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) .
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) , Mexico’s economy will grow by 1.5% by 2026 compared to 2025, while the United States’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will advance by 2.1%, based on the same multilateral organization.
In this context, the prospects for growth in trade between Mexico and the United States will advance in a moderate scenario at 6%, however, it could increase to a double-digit level, derived from market conditions that can vary dynamically , considered Calvin Rackley, regional vice president of Operations at Averitt .
From Rackley’s perspective, Averitt has developed a business network and infrastructure capable of supporting the growth dynamics of its clients, and thereby capitalizing on market growth.
As part of the strategy, the expansion of its distribution & fulfillment center in San Antonio, Texas was inaugurated , which allows for the management of cargo coming from the Texas-Mexico border, and helps to decongest trade through the port of Laredo, with a future vision for the growth of activity between both countries.
The San Antonio distribution center has 85,000 square feet (7,896 m2) and 80 loading docks for distribution and fulfillment activities, offering logistics close to the border and what happens in Mexico.
In addition to the above, Averitt has expanded its portfolio to include dry goods handling, warehousing, and other services. “Besides San Antonio, we have added locations in Laredo, Austin, and Dallas, with the goal of offering better alternatives to our customers,” Rackley emphasized.
In addition to this infrastructure, expansion works are planned for the warehouses in Corpus Christi and Harlingen (Texas), which will allow for greater capacity, ” so that when customers need it they can use the capacity they require , this will improve the efficiency of their cross-border operations and guarantee a good return on investment,” Calvin Rackley stated.
Averitt has approximately 8,500 employees, including operators and associates, and its facilities total approximately four million square feet, with the capacity to serve the central and southeastern United States and its connection to the markets of Canada and Mexico.
