The Cross-Border Landscape
Nearshoring Boom: Mexico’s Advantage
The recent surge in nearshoring – relocating production closer to the final consumer – has positioned Mexico as an economic bonanza for manufacturers. As supply chains adapt to global disruptions, Mexico’s competitive labor rates and proximity to the U.S. make it an attractive trading partner. Companies seeking a secure supply chain are turning to Mexico, replacing commodities once produced in distant Asian nations.
