Mexico’s automotive sector continued to draw strategic investment during the third quarter of 2025, recording approximately US$672.4 million USD in confirmed automotive and OEM projects across the country. The figure reflects ongoing interest from global manufacturers and suppliers in advanced automotive manufacturing and electrification components, even amid broader shifts in global investment dynamics.
 

Despite overall investment levels moderating compared with prior periods, the 3Q 2025 automotive investment report highlights resilient activity in sectors such as electronics, lighting, electrification components, wiring systems, and precision structures. These projects spanned multiple states — including Querétaro, Nuevo León, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Durango, and San Luis Potosí — underscoring the diversified geographic footprint of Mexico’s automotive ecosystem.
 

Top Automotive Investments in 3Q 2025

Among the leading projects during the quarter:
 

– LG committed US$190.6 million USD in Querétaro for a facility producing cameras, LEDs, motors, and specialized electronic components, creating 630 jobs with plans to expand further.

– Other notable investments included battery module assembly by Kyungshin Cable in Durango and automotive lighting systems by UTAS-NOVA in Aguascalientes.
 

Continued Momentum Amid Reallocation Trends

The third quarter’s investment activity reflects a broader trend in Mexico’s automotive industry: while total direct automotive investment volumes have moderated compared to previous years, the focus has shifted toward specialized, high-technology projects that align with global supply chain strategies and electric vehicle manufacturing. This trend coincides with investments in components central to the future of mobility, including electrification and digital systems.
 

For regions such as Monterrey, continued automotive capital inflows — particularly in advanced components and electrification — reinforce the state’s position as a hub for global automotive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers looking to expand in North America.
