In the first half of 2025, Mexico solidified its position as the United States’ top trading partner, with total bilateral trade reaching $432.6 billion — a 4.2 percent year-over-year increase, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Mexican exports to the U.S. totaled $264.38 billion, marking a 6.2 percent annual increase. This performance allowed Mexico to remain the leading supplier of goods to the U.S. market, accounting for 15 percent of total American imports.
Canada followed with an 11.2 percent share, while China accounted for 9.5 percent. These results come amid a shifting global trade landscape, including the implementation of new tariffs in specific sectors.
Meanwhile, U.S. exports to Mexico reached $168.17 billion — a modest 1 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The figures highlight the depth of the commercial relationship between the two economies, which are closely integrated through production and logistics chains.
A key figure in this exchange is that 46 percent of Mexican exports to the U.S. during this period benefited from the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), indicating that over half of the trade still takes place outside the preferential framework of the agreement.
In June 2025 alone, Mexico exported $44.87 billion in goods to the U.S., representing a 6.3 percent year-over-year increase — reinforcing the strong trade momentum seen throughout the semester.
With these results, Mexico has remained the U.S.’s top trading partner consistently since 2023, underscoring the strength of the bilateral economic relationship and Mexico’s strategic role in North American trade.
