Aguascalientes Ends 2025 With MX$15 Billion in Projects

Aguascalientes closed 2025 with 29 new investment projects totaling more than MX$15 billion (US$833 million), generating 7,417 direct jobs.  According to Cluster Industrial B2B’s whitepaper, Mapping of the Automotive Industry in Aguascalientes 2025, the automotive industry remains the cornerstone of the state’s economy. Automotive manufacturing accounts for 36.7% of Aguascalientes’ gross domestic product and 85% of its total exports, while supporting more than 159,000 direct and indirect jobs.

The investment pipeline announced in 2025 spans multiple industries, including automotive, technology, agribusiness, energy, and commercial services. State data show that this sectoral mix has strengthened economic diversification while reinforcing the industrial and logistics infrastructure required to support manufacturing exports. The report also notes that these projects have deepened local value chains and increased participation opportunities for domestic suppliers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The analysis further shows that between January and September 2025, Aguascalientes ranked fifth nationwide in attracting automotive investment. Over that period, the state secured US$211.21 million in direct automotive investment, complemented by US$157.95 million earmarked for industrial park development to expand capacity and accommodate future manufacturing demand.

Cluster Industrial B2B concludes that these trends reflect the deep integration of manufacturing into Aguascalientes’ economic structure, particularly in export-driven activities connected to North American supply chains. The state’s automotive output is closely supported by logistics connectivity and a skilled labor base, which the report identifies as key factors in sustaining long-term investment flows.
