Mexico is working with the United States and Canada on a gradual plan to increase the share of North American inputs used in selected exports.
Deputy Trade Minister Luis Rosendo Gutiérrez said the strategy is focused on identifying components and supplies that can be produced competitively within the region, rather than immediately replacing all imports from Asia and other markets.
The initiative is part of broader USMCA discussions and is intended to reduce reliance on non-North American inputs in selected industrial supply chains.
Electronics is one of the sectors under consideration. According to Gutiérrez, exports to the United States are growing rapidly, while Mexican value-added content remains between 7% and 8%. The stated goal is to gradually raise that share to 20%, 30%, or potentially 40%.
The plan includes consultations with industry to determine which parts of existing supply chains could be developed or relocated within Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
This approach could also reshape production models that currently rely on imported components being assembled or processed in Mexico before finished goods are shipped to the U.S. market.
