<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">In this context, Mexico positioned itself among the most dynamic markets in the region. According to data from </span><a href="https://www.qima.es/?xtor=sec-5&amp;matchType=p&amp;kw=quima&amp;sc=47253002109791501&amp;device=m&amp;loc=9047085&amp;network=g&amp;campaign=&amp;campaignid=23744129643&amp;adgroupid=196067886915&amp;creative=805086900930&amp;mkwid=&amp;slid=&amp;kwid=kwd-374571029165&amp;locint=&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23744129643&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAD9o4Iv02FoKsYSSwwbUdo7e-xeWz&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw3K7RBhDJARIsAKRtP5QcIh9Dc8Nnmf1XZ-2W5UsXSWAltLuXDxTvzOycGkcqLsLH00nTeEQaAtR-EALw_wcB"><span dir="auto">QIMA</span></a><span dir="auto"> , </span><strong><span dir="auto">Mexican purchases of these products increased by 10% during the first quarter of 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> compared to the same period in 2025.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">The trend coincides with figures from the </span><a href="https://www.banxico.org.mx/"><span dir="auto">Bank of Mexico (Banxico)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , which reported an annual growth of </span><strong><span dir="auto">4.43% in imports from China</span></strong><span dir="auto"> during the first quarter of the year, reaching a record level of 31,695.6 million dollars (USD).</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">At the regional level, supply activity from </span><strong><span dir="auto">Latin America</span></strong><span dir="auto"> to China registered a year-on-year increase of 53%, reflecting a greater participation of Latin American buyers in Asian global production chains.</span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">“This accelerated growth in demand for Chinese manufacturing represents a wake-up call for the Mexican market: it could become a loss of competitiveness for local industry or an opportunity to strengthen our value chains, raise standards, and focus on innovation, speed, and differentiation. The challenge for Mexico is not to halt Asian progress, but to build an industry capable of competing in quality, specialization, and responsiveness,” shared Iván Hernández, CEO of QIMA.</span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">The company also noted that during the first quarter of 2026, </span><strong><span dir="auto">Latin American buyers accounted for 32% of the inspections and audits</span></strong><span dir="auto"> carried out by the firm in China, surpassing Europe for the first time in the company&#8217;s records.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">This behavior is occurring amidst a reconfiguration of international trade. While the United States continues to diversify its supply sources in Asia, Latin America is strengthening its position as a strategic buyer of Chinese products, particularly consumer goods and household items.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">In addition to Mexico, other markets in the region also showed an increase in their demand for Chinese manufactured goods. Guatemala registered a 32% growth, while Argentina reported a 6% increase.</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">For QIMA, the increase in imports from China highlights the </span><strong><span dir="auto">need to strengthen Mexico&#8217;s productive capacity</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span dir="auto">Although the country has gained relevance as a destination for investments linked to </span><em><span dir="auto">nearshoring</span></em><span dir="auto"> (relocation of production lines) and due to its proximity to the United States, the dynamism of purchases from Asia reflects opportunities to promote more specialized manufacturing, foster innovation and develop <strong>more robust </strong></span><strong><span dir="auto">value chains</span></strong> <span dir="auto">that allow for raising national competitiveness.</span></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" src="https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ChinaDT.jpg" /></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The Labor Day holiday in China, celebrated from May 1st to 5th, presents a logistical challenge for international trade due to the temporary closure of its main economic engines. This period results in a three- to five-day pause in factories and ports, disrupting </span><strong><span dir="auto">the flow of goods to key markets such as Mexico</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . The holiday is not an isolated event, but rather a phenomenon that overwhelms the operational infrastructure in cities like Shanghai, Ningbo, and Shenzhen.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In an interview with T21, Arturo Gómez Marín, senior manager of Customs and Foreign Trade at  </span><a href="https://cgaconsultoria.com/"><span dir="auto">CGA Customs Consulting</span></a><span dir="auto"> , explained the magnitude of the problem in the </span><strong><span dir="auto">global supply chain</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span class="opacity-80 text-sm" data-timestamp=""><span dir="auto">“ </span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:07"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="127479" data-end="137340"><span dir="auto">Both the available space in China and the use and availability of containers </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:17"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="137340" data-end="142640"><span dir="auto">are beginning to experience significant saturation, </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:24"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="143500" data-end="147600"><span dir="auto">because if we look at it as a chain, </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:29"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="148760" data-end="155120"><span dir="auto">there is already a demand for ships and containers. </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:37"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="156900" data-end="162620"><span dir="auto">So, with this overdemand and the resulting shortage, </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:44"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="163780" data-end="170380"><span dir="auto">you start to see an effect with the increase in maritime freight costs; </span></span></span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 2:51"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="171240" data-end="183700"><span dir="auto">then you begin to see a bottleneck generated by this saturation in Chinese ports,” he noted.</span></span></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">In Mexico, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the five-day shutdown of these three Chinese ports directly impacts the customs offices in Manzanillo, Colima, and Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which could face bottlenecks, as delays could extend up to 15 days within the country. As a result, storage and demurrage costs increase.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“For an importer, an operator in Mexico could have an impact of up to 30 percent. Because remember that you&#8217;re dealing with the increased freight costs in China, and you&#8217;re also paying for additional handling at Mexican ports. So, you&#8217;re already seeing a significant increase,” he indicated.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">The situation is further complicated by geopolitical factors, Gómez explained, such as conflicts in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which limit the supply of raw materials. This scarcity forces buyers to seek inputs in other regions at higher prices to avoid complete production shutdowns. The combination of holidays and geopolitical crises creates a highly uncertain scenario for importers and affects certain sectors more than others, such as the automotive industry.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“There are materials that are needed for production, and it’s more expensive not to have them than to pay those extra costs </span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 14:03"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="842910" data-end="850070"><span dir="auto">(…)</span></span></span><span dir="auto">  the automotive industry, of course, a plant shutdown is very costly. I think the chemical industry, because shutting down a reactor is also very complex. I believe they would be absorbing the extra costs,” he warned.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">For </span><strong><span dir="auto">sectors involving finished goods, such as textiles, footwear, or toys, the recommendation is usually to wait for logistics to stabilize after the holidays</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . However, any decision must be accompanied by sound planning to avoid compromising operations. “I </span><span class="cursor-pointer group" title="Play from 20:36"><span class="group-hover:bg-base-200 rounded p-0.5 -m-0.5" data-start="1235600" data-end="1244580"><span dir="auto">believe that right now the supply chain needs to be strategic,” Gómez emphasized.</span></span></span></p>
<h4><strong><span dir="auto">Recommendations for importers</span></strong></h4>
<p><span dir="auto">Both Gómez and Jocelyn Martínez, senior import contracts analyst at </span><a href="https://www.eiffmx.com/"><span dir="auto">Eternity Group Mexico</span></a><span dir="auto"> , </span><strong><span dir="auto">shared a series of recommendations with T21 to mitigate the impact of the holiday</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and ensure the continuity of business operations:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Anticipation:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Plan shipments, make bookings </span><em><span dir="auto">and</span></em><span dir="auto"> shipping arrangements at least four weeks in advance of the start of the holiday and confirm itineraries.</span></li>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Document management:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Request documents such as certificates of origin or invoice corrections well in advance of the closure of administrative offices in China. Also, ensure that commercial invoices, </span><em><span dir="auto">packing lists</span></em><span dir="auto"> , and certificates are ready before closing time.</span></li>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Safety stock:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Maintain a reserve </span><em><span dir="auto">stock that covers an additional two to four weeks of regular demand to avoid shortages.</span></em></li>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Direct routes:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Avoid services with transshipments, as the risk of cargo being stranded in intermediate ports increases during the reorganization of shipping lines&#8217; schedules.</span></li>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Plan B:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Explore alternative ports and shipping companies to diversify entry options.</span></li>
<li><strong><span dir="auto">Direct communication:</span></strong><span dir="auto"> Confirm with suppliers the actual dates of closure and restart of operations at 100%, as many factories extend their breaks beyond the official days.</span></li>
</ul>

<p><span dir="auto">The signal didn&#8217;t come from the market, but from the government.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In recent weeks, Chinese officials have held direct meetings with executives from </span><a href="https://www.maersk.com/es-mx/"><span dir="auto">Maersk</span></a><span dir="auto"> and </span><a href="https://www.msc.com/"><span dir="auto">Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC)</span></a><span dir="auto"> to </span><strong><span dir="auto">review their role in international shipping</span></strong><span dir="auto"> and, in particular, their involvement in strategic port infrastructure. While no detailed statements have been released, the meetings—reported by </span><em><span dir="auto">Platform Media</span></em><span dir="auto"> and </span><em><span dir="auto">AAStocks—</span></em><span dir="auto"> mark a turning point: Beijing is moving from observation to intervention.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The tone also hardened.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to information published on April 15 by </span><em><span dir="auto">Reuters</span></em><span dir="auto"> , citing the </span><em><span dir="auto">Financial Times</span></em><span dir="auto"> , Chinese officials have asked both shipping companies </span><strong><span dir="auto">to refrain from participating in operations</span></strong><span dir="auto"> that affect the interests of Chinese companies, in a direct reference to their role in Panama Canal ports. This warning places Maersk and MSC in an unprecedented position: private operators under explicit political pressure from a global power.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The background of these conversations points to Panama, but not as an isolated event, but as the result of a sequence that altered the balance of control in one of the most important </span><strong><span dir="auto">logistics hubs</span></strong><span dir="auto"> in the world.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In early 2026, the Supreme Court of Panama annulled the concession held by </span><a href="https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/global/home.php"><span dir="auto">CK Hutchison</span></a><span dir="auto"> —through </span><strong><span dir="auto">Panama Ports Company</span></strong><span dir="auto"> —for the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Balboa and Cristóbal</span></strong><span dir="auto"> terminals , after years of legal challenges and audits. The decision led to direct intervention by the Panamanian state, which assumed operational control of the ports through an occupation decree to ensure the continuity of operations.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">It was at that point that </span><strong><span dir="auto">Maersk and MSC</span></strong><span dir="auto"> entered the picture .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Far from being a direct purchase, the Panamanian government opted for a transition scheme: it assigned provisional operating licenses &#8211; of up to 18 months &#8211; to </span><a href="https://www.apmterminals.com/"><span dir="auto">APM Terminals</span></a><span dir="auto"> (Maersk&#8217;s port arm) for Balboa, on the Pacific, and to </span><a href="https://tilgroup.com/"><span dir="auto">Terminal Investment Limited (TIL)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , linked to MSC, for Cristóbal, on the Atlantic.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">The move resolved the immediate operation, but opened a larger front.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">Prior to the contract&#8217;s annulment, CK Hutchison had already begun the process of selling part of its global port portfolio </span><strong><span dir="auto">—including assets in Panama—</span></strong><span dir="auto"> to a consortium that included Western investors and MSC itself. The court intervention not only halted this process but, paradoxically, ended up placing one of the potential buyers as the temporary operator of the assets.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">From Beijing, the interpretation was different.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">For years, China has built a global logistics network of influence in which ports play a central role. </span><strong><span dir="auto">Hutchison&#8217;s forced departure from Panama</span></strong><span dir="auto"> —and the entry of operators linked to Western capital—is interpreted as a strategic shift in a region crucial for international trade.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">In that context, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the meetings with Maersk and MSC</span></strong><span dir="auto"> take on a different meaning: they are not technical reviews, but political signals.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The episode also reflects a broader shift in the industry. </span><strong><span dir="auto">Major shipping companies have evolved</span></strong><span dir="auto"> into integrated infrastructure operators, capable of influencing routes, costs, and trade flows. This transformation puts them on the radar of governments as actors with implications beyond mere business.</span></p>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">This is compounded by a highly volatile environment.</span></strong><span dir="auto"> China has expressed concern about rising maritime tariffs and disruptions to global shipping routes, particularly given the tensions in the Middle East, according to the Financial Times. In this context, control of ports and supply chains takes on even greater strategic importance.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">What&#8217;s happening between China, Maersk, and MSC, therefore, goes beyond the corporate sphere. It&#8217;s a dispute over who defines the rules—and controls the hubs—of global trade. And on this playing field, </span><strong><span dir="auto">shipping companies no longer just transport goods. They also wield geopolitical pressure.</span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span dir="auto">In 2025, </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">air cargo handling in Mexico </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">registered a drop of </span></strong><strong><span dir="auto">2.4% compared to 2024</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , due to the United States&#8217; tariff policy, the review of trade with Asia, among other factors, specialists agreed.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Alik García, deputy director of Stock Market Analysis at  </span><a href="https://www.valmex.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">VALMEX Casa de Bolsa</span></a><span dir="auto"> , added that the reconfiguration of air transport after the departure of dedicated cargo from the  </span><a href="https://www.aicm.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexico City International Airport (AICM)</span></a><span dir="auto">  generated uncertainty.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“The freight sector is facing, on the one hand, tariff uncertainty, though not to the extent that had been expected. Furthermore, we have seen a gradual recovery at the end of last year. There has also been a cooling of </span><em><span dir="auto">nearshoring</span></em><span dir="auto"> expectations due to the policies of US President Donald Trump and the review of trade with China, as well as the pressure Mexico has received to limit imports from that country,” García explained in an interview with T21.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">He emphasized that the </span><strong><span dir="auto"> review of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , and the impacts of meteorological phenomena, such as the case of the </span><a href="https://www.oma.aero/es/"><span dir="auto">Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte (OMA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> and its Monterrey airport, influenced the results.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The  </span><a href="https://www.gob.mx/afac"><span dir="auto">Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC)</span></a><span dir="auto"> reported that during the past year 1,232,808.4 tons were transported, 30,777.2 tons less than in 2024, that is, a decrease of 2.4% year-on-year.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Juan Antonio José, an independent aviation analyst, agreed that the reduction originated from decisions made by the U.S. government. He also noted that cargo shippers are utilizing more ship capacity due to lower tariffs.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“If you have good supply chain planning, you don’t have to pay the premium for air freight for some supplies; it’s better to move them by sea, since they have more capacity and that means less need for air freight,” he commented.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">The AFAC indicated that national air cargo volume fell from 391,667 tons in 2024 to 383,222.6 tons in 2025, representing </span><strong><span dir="auto">a 2.2 percent annual decrease</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Tijuana, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosí, Mérida, Hermosillo, and Cancún experienced declines of 1.2%, 8.6%, 4.3%, 1.6%, 17.4%, and 6.9%, respectively.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">In the international market, </span><strong><span dir="auto">the decrease in air cargo was 2.6% year-on-year</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , as 2025 closed with 849,585.7 tons, 22,332.9 tons less than in 2024.</span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-667796" src="https://t21.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/carga-internacional-ok-e1770789314180.png" alt="" width="399" height="399" data-pin-no-hover="true" /></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The agency specified that the  </span><a href="https://aifa.aero/"><span dir="auto">Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> and the Monterrey Airport suffered annual declines of 7.7% and 11.9%, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Data from AFAC highlighted that AICM, Guadalajara and Cancun grew 3.4%, 10.9% and 4%, respectively, in the period January-December 2025.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">Regarding the growth and decline for AICM and AIFA, Alik García considered that logistical issues played a role in this situation, since &#8220;the routes and connections that the airport (AIFA) will have are still not well defined and it is very likely that some cargo operations that were initially transferred are trying to relocate to other airports.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><strong><span dir="auto">The future of the automotive industry in Mexico will be closely linked to the political and commercial environment of 2026</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , according to Pedro Tello Villagrán, economist and business advisor, who considered that the sector will face a scenario of high uncertainty, derived, mainly, from the negotiation style of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and the review process of the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Treaty between Mexico, United States and Canada (USMCA)</span></strong><span dir="auto"> .</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The specialist recalled that, while in 2020 Trump described the USMCA as the most important trade agreement signed by the United States, at the beginning of 2026 he publicly declared that the treaty is &#8220;irrelevant&#8221; and that the northern neighbor &#8220;does not need cars made in Mexico&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">This contradiction, Tello pointed out, shows how trade and the automotive industry are being used as political instruments in a key election year for the United States, in which the composition of Congress will be renewed and, in some states, governors will be elected.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">According to the economist, this stance represents a </span><strong><span dir="auto">direct risk</span></strong><span dir="auto"> for Mexico , given its heavy reliance on a single market and the decisions of a single president. The automotive industry, a pillar of Mexico&#8217;s export sector, could be affected by tariff threats, changes in rules of origin, or pressure to relocate production to the United States.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">At the close of 2025, the automotive industry in Mexico registered a slight contraction in both vehicle production and exports, amidst global adjustments. According to figures from the </span><a href="https://www.amia.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , approximately 3.95 million vehicles were produced during the year, while exports decreased by 2.7% year-on-year.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">However, AMIA highlighted that dependence on the US market remains high, as </span><strong data-start="785" data-end="863"><span dir="auto">78.4% of vehicles produced in Mexico were exported to the United States</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , and together with Canada they accounted for around </span><strong data-start="911" data-end="947"><span dir="auto">90% of total exports</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which reaffirms the strong integration and complementarity of the Mexican automotive sector with the North American region.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" id="datawrapper-chart-CGCCH" title="Destination of automotive industry exports in 2025" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/CGCCH/1/" width="600" height="440" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" aria-label="Bar chart" data-external="1" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p>
<p><span dir="auto">During the virtual conference &#8221;  </span><em><span dir="auto">Mexico 2026: A Year of Challenges for the Economy and Businesses</span></em><span dir="auto"> ,&#8221; organized by the  </span><a href="https://anerpv.mx/"><span dir="auto">National Association of Vehicle Tracking and Protection Companies (ANERPV)</span></a><span dir="auto"> , Tello Villagrán emphasized that </span><strong><span dir="auto">the review of the USMCA will be crucial for the sector</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , not only because of the agreement&#8217;s technical content, but also because of the need to restore certainty. In his view, Mexico must come to the </span><strong><span dir="auto">negotiating table</span></strong><span dir="auto"> with a firm position that prioritizes clear rules, compliance with agreements, and productive integration based on real competitive advantages.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">Beyond the treaty, he argued that the Mexican automotive industry must rethink its long-term strategy. Relying exclusively on the U.S. market increases the sector&#8217;s vulnerability to political shocks and unilateral decisions. Therefore, he emphasized the need to strengthen domestic production capacity, diversify markets, and move toward a model that reduces exposure to external volatility.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span dir="auto">In that sense, the </span><strong><span dir="auto">Mexico Plan</span></strong><span dir="auto"> was identified as a tool that, although it has fallen short of initial expectations, remains the only available strategy to promote </span><strong><span dir="auto">national content</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , productive investment, and the development of stronger value chains within the country.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In 2026, the Mexican automotive industry will move between </span><strong><span dir="auto">caution and adaptation</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , Tello considered.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span dir="auto">“I believe that the path the Mexican government will follow is to align itself with the United States’ decision to build a wall against Chinese imports in order to strengthen regional economic integration,” he stressed.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span dir="auto">Exporting companies</span></strong><span dir="auto"> will maintain reasonable operations and profitability levels, but expansion and investment decisions will continue to be contingent on the outcome of the USMCA and the political environment in the United States. For Mexico, he said, the challenge will be to use this year not only to withstand external pressure, but also to redefine the course of one of its strategic sectors.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">According to an analysis by  </span><a href="https://t21.com.mx/"><span dir="auto">T21 Business Intelligence</span></a><span dir="auto"> , this growth reflects a sustained trend over the past four years. In 2022, Chinese brands represented </span><strong><span dir="auto">just 5.7% of the market, with 62,629 units sold. This figure climbed to 8.0% in 2023, with 109,358 units, and to 8.2% in 2024, with 123,507 units</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , reaching a record high in 2025.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">In terms of brands, </span><strong><span dir="auto">MG Motor consolidated its position as the volume leader, with 48,816 units sold in 2025 and a 3.2% share of the total market</span></strong><span dir="auto"> ; followed by JAC with 24,445 units, equivalent to 1.6% of the market; while Great Wall Motor sold a total of 15,336 units, 1.0% of the market.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The biggest growth surprises came from </span><strong><span dir="auto">Geely, which increased its sales by 237.4%, from 6,596 units in 2024 to 22,258 in 2025</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , achieving a 1.5% market share. Changan also showed strong performance, selling 19,308 vehicles in 2025, equivalent to 1.3% of the market, representing a 184.4% increase compared to the 6,788 units registered in 2024.</span></p>

<p><span dir="auto">In just three years, </span><strong><span dir="auto">sales of light vehicles of Chinese origin increased by 111.1%, going from 62,629 units in 2022 to 132,265 in 2025</span></strong><span dir="auto"> , which could be interpreted as the “Asian wave” on the country&#8217;s roads.</span></p>
<p><span dir="auto">The tariffs imposed by the U.S. government created a challenging environment for the automotive industry in the region. </span><strong><span dir="auto">However, far from hindering their progress, Chinese brands found fertile ground for expansion in Mexico</span></strong><span dir="auto"> . Sustained growth and diversification of their product offerings demonstrate that, despite external pressures, the Mexican market has become a strategic haven for these companies.</span></p>
