Leading Sectors for U.S. Exports & Investments Overview
Last published date:

Mexico offers an extraordinary range of sectors that represent opportunities for U.S. exporters. From 23 top prospect sectors, the U.S. Commercial Service Mexico has identified six clusters of these sectors that represent a high priority for U.S. Government support for export promotion and market access.

Aerospace and Defense

  • Mexico’s civilian aerospace market is huge, with U.S. firms commanding nearly 50 percent of the market. The country is the largest market for U.S. defense products, equipment, and services in Latin America, and Mexico has one of the most dynamic aerospace sectors in the world.

Automotive

  • Mexico is the seventh-largest automobile producer in the world. The automotive sector is anticipating new supply chain opportunities and inward investment resulting from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and trends in nearshoring.

Energy and Environmental Technologies

  • This priority cluster combines oil and gas, renewables, and electricity. For 2023, there are ongoing oil and gas and clean energy projects. However, there is also continued uncertainty about the direction of the industry and the role of the private sector.

Industrial Materials

  • The growth of advanced manufacturing in Mexico, together with heightened interest in product quality and productivity, are generating demand for diverse industrial materials, systems, and services.

ICT and Digital

  • Mexico continues to modernize its ICT platforms, with U.S. firms playing a leading role in the introduction of new financial (FinTech) and cybersecurity technologies.

Infrastructure and Construction

  • The López Obrador administration has undertaken a number of infrastructure projects requiring design and construction products and services —from ports and airports to rail, refineries, and natural gas pipelines.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
