Amazon , the e-commerce company, launched Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS),  offering its freight, distribution, fulfillment, and package delivery capabilities to companies of all types and sizes worldwide.

With this launch, the US firm expands its third-party logistics capabilities to support companies in sectors such as healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and retail .

“Amazon is bringing the infrastructure, intelligence, and scale of its supply chain services to businesses around the world, similar to how Amazon Web Services did with cloud computing, and with the launch of ASCS, we are confident that we can offer any other company access to the same cost efficiency, reliability, and speed that we have built for customers,” said Peter Larsen, vice president of Amazon Supply Chain Services.

He noted that leading brands such as Procter & Gamble , 3M , Lands’ End , and American Eagle Outfitters are among the first to subscribe to ASCS, as they now rely on Amazon’s logistics network throughout their supply chain.

He noted that they currently support hundreds of sellers, moving billions of items worldwide each year.

“Amazon has added value at every stage of our supply chain, from cross-border logistics to warehousing and package delivery,” said Todd Bairstow, founder of Finer Form .

He emphasized that ASCS’s difference is not just a single service but the capacity, speed, and reliability that each offering includes for cargo across the network, encompassing goods by sea, air, land, and rail, as well as a variety of options, including time-delayed shipments, simplified bookings, customs clearance, and end-to-end shipment visibility.

In addition, the company allows businesses to import, store, and position inventory closer to demand, and fulfill customer orders through their sales channels, all within a single network.

It also offers shipping solutions for orders placed through all sales channels, with delivery speeds of two to five days and service seven days a week.

The Mexican commercial sector closed 2025 with negative figures, both in wholesale and retail trade, which registered drops in their income last December, according to the  Monthly Survey on Commercial Companies (EMEC) , carried out by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .

In the last month of 2025, real income from the supply of goods and services (the amount obtained from production, marketing or service provision activities) of wholesale trade companies fell 0.8% on a monthly basis .

Conversely,  employment in wholesale trade increased by 0.6%, while average real wages  remained unchanged in their monthly measurement.

On an annual basis, real income from the supply of goods and services fell by 1.7 percent. Total employment grew by 0.2 percent, and average real wages rose by 0.6 percent.

Retail trade also  showed a negative performance in its income, with a monthly decline of 0.1%; meanwhile, the number of employed personnel increased by 0.3%, while average real wages increased by 0.6% on a monthly basis in December 2025.

On an annual basis, retail businesses reported a 4% increase in their income from the supply of goods and services; the number of people employed rose 1.1%, and average real wages grew 4% in the last month of last year.

According to the results from Inegi, four subsectors of wholesale activity  showed decreases in supply income compared to December 2024.

Trucks and new parts and accessories for automobiles, vans, and trucks  contracted the most, at 10.2 percent. Conversely, machinery, equipment, and furniture for agricultural, industrial, service, and commercial activities  was the subsector with the largest increase, rising 8.1 percent annually.

Meanwhile, the subsector with the highest revenue in  retail trade  was household goods, computers, interior decoration items, and used goods , with a 17.8% year-on-year increase. Textiles, costume jewelry, clothing accessories, and footwear  was the only subsector to experience a decline in retail revenue, with a 0.3% year-on-year decrease.

Wholesale and retail trade is a fundamental part of the dynamics of consumption, distribution of goods and economic growth in Mexico, so its measurement is a key factor in understanding other sectors such as employment.

In 2024, the wholesale trade sector contributed 49.8% of total income from the supply of goods and services nationwide , the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) reported this Thursday  .

According to the results of the  Annual Trade Survey (EAC) , the agency also reported that 48.9% of these revenues came from  agricultural and forestry raw materials for industry, and waste materials . This was followed by wholesale trade of groceries, food, beverages, ice, and tobacco , with 25.9%, and the intermediation subsector , with 0.2%.

Regarding fixed assets , he emphasized that wholesale trade companies invested mainly in real estate (27.7%) and in machinery and production equipment (21.2%), while computer equipment and peripherals represented 5 percent.

During the period, men accounted for 65.6% of the workforce, while women contributed 34.4%. Meanwhile, wages paid were distributed as follows: 34.8% to women and 65.2% to men.

Within the retail sector , 30% of revenue from the supply of goods and services came from the motor vehicle, parts, and fuel subsector . This was followed by retail trade in self-service and department stores . The subsector with the smallest share was that of sales exclusively through the internet, printed catalogs, television, and similar channels, which accounted for 0.8%.

The EAC detailed that the largest proportion in fixed assets corresponded to real estate (54.8%), transport units and equipment (12.7%) and computer equipment and peripherals with 6.2 percent.

During the cycle, women accounted for 52.5% of the average annual employment compared to 47.5% for men, while wages were distributed 48% for women and 52% for men.

According to Inegi, the Annual Trade Survey aims to capture and generate basic statistical information and economic indicators for the reference year, allowing us to understand the trends, factors and dynamics of commercial activity in Mexico.

This year, the commercial sector in Mexico has experienced mixed performance. According to the Monthly Survey of Commercial Enterprises (EMEC) , wholesale trade saw a 2.5% monthly increase in September alone, while retail trade remained unchanged month-on-month.

This behavior has resulted from lower consumption in the domestic market, as well as an increase in inflation, low employment expectations and external pressures, which have impacted consumer confidence.

The slowdown in the Mexican economy impacted a decline in the Mexican commercial sector, resulting in low demand for goods and services last June, both in wholesale and retail trade.

According to the  Monthly Survey of Commercial Enterprises (EMEC) conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) , revenue from the supply of goods and services in wholesale trade fell 2.3% monthly  in the sixth month of 2025.  Employment  and  average real wages in this sector also slowed to 0.5% during the period.

Retail trade revenue   fell 0.4%, while total employed personnel decreased 0.2%. Average real wages increased 1.7% monthly.

In their annual measurement, wholesale retailers saw a 9.3% decline in revenue, a 1.2% increase in workforce, and a 0.8% increase in average real wages.

Retail businesses, meanwhile, reported a 2.3% increase in revenue from the supply of goods and services; the number of employees increased by 0.2%, and average real wages grew by 6.9% year-over-year.

All wholesale activity sectors and subsectors showed a decrease in supply revenue compared to June 2024.

Wholesale and retail trade are a fundamental part of Mexico’s consumption dynamics, distribution of goods, and economic growth, making them a key factor for other sectors such as employment.

According to the survey, conducted by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) , revenue from the supply of goods and services in wholesale trade showed a monthly decline of 2.2 percent .

Employment in this sector fell 0.1%, while average wages increased 0.1% monthly in the fifth month of the year.

Meanwhile, retail trade saw a 1.8% increase in revenue. It also saw a 0.1% increase in the workforce; however, average real wages fell 0.1% monthly.

In their annual measurement, wholesale retailers saw a  7.8% slowdown in total revenue. They also recorded a 3% increase in employed personnel and a 1.8% increase in average real wages.

During the reference period, retail businesses reported a  2.5% increase  in revenue from the supply of goods and services; the number of employees increased by 0.7%, and average real wages grew by 5.4% annually.

Low demand for goods and services led to mixed results for wholesale and retail businesses, compounded by factors such as uncertainty surrounding the current economic situation, driven by the United States’ tariff policy.

Also, inflation in Mexico has begun to ease, after having had a period of upward trend in the first months of 2025. Last June, the National Consumer Price Index (INPC)  stood at  4.32% annually .

Low demand for goods and services led to a decline in Mexico’s commercial sector during April 2025, according to the Monthly Survey of Commercial Companies (EMEC) , which revealed a monthly decline in wholesale and retail trade.

According to the report, prepared by the  National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) , revenue from the supply of goods and services in wholesale trade fell 0.9%  monthly. Employment in this sector increased by 0.5%, while average real wages fell 1.3% in the fourth month of the year.

Meanwhile, the wholesale activity sectors and subsectors showed a decrease in supply revenue compared to April 2024.

Textiles and footwear showed the greatest decline, at 12.3%; this was followed by machinery, equipment, and furniture for agricultural, industrial, service, and commercial activities, and other general-use machinery and equipment , with a decrease of 11.7%, as well as trucks and new parts and spare parts for automobiles, vans, and trucks , with a drop of 10.2%.

These figures come at a time when the  National Consumer Price Index (NCPI)  stood at  4.42%  in May 2025 compared to its annual comparison, due to an increase in the cost of some basic food products, such as tomatoes and chicken.

With this result in the fifth month of the year,  the INPC had an increase for the fourth consecutive month , which was the highest record since November 2024, when it reached 4.55 percent.

In this context, and in the face of an economic slowdown, the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) , in its Quarterly Report, lowered its growth forecast for the country from  0.6% to 0.1%  for 2025.

Among its estimates, the central bank reiterated that its 3% inflation target   could be reached by the  third quarter of 2026 , reflecting the current complex economic environment, which is likely to extend into next year.

These figures come at a time when the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI)  stood at  4.22% at an annual rate in the first half of May 2025, due to an increase in the cost of some basic products.

Given this, the financial institution Ve por más estimated that year-on-year growth in the CPI could close the year slightly below current levels, and noted that upside risks and significant uncertainty remain, particularly due to external factors such as tariffs imposed by the United States.
