Aguascalientes recorded approximately US$6.4 billion in exports during the first half of 2025, driven primarily by shipments to the United States, Japan, Germany, and Canada, according to the state’s Ministry of Economic Development, Science and Technology (SEDECYT).

Esaú Garza de la Vega, head of SEDECYT, shared the results on social media, highlighting the state’s growing global competitiveness.

“Exports from Aguascalientes reflect the combined effort of government, businesses, and workers. Our people give value to each product, showing that Aguascalientes stands for quality, safety, and trust,” Garza de la Vega said.

Key export sectors include transportation equipment, electronics, agroindustry, textiles and apparel, agriculture, and livestock, demonstrating the region’s economic diversification.

Garza de la Vega noted that during the current administration, Aguascalientes’ total exports have reached US$36.3 billion, solidifying its role as a significant player in international trade.

SEDECYT plans to continue initiatives aimed at diversifying the state’s export base, strengthening emerging sectors, and opening new international markets.

Mexico Exports Up 4% in July

In related news, MBN reported that Mexico's merchandise exports grew 4% year-on-year in July 2025, reaching a total of US$56.7 billion, according to INEGI. Growth was driven by strong performance in the manufacturing sector, which offset declines in oil and automotive exports.

Manufacturing exports accounted for 92.3% of the country's total merchandise sales, growing 5.3% in July. This dynamism was led by significant year-on-year growth in exports of machinery and special equipment for various industries, which rose 28.7%, while scientific and professional equipment went up 17%.

This performance compensated for a 23% annual drop in the value of oil exports, which totaled US$1.87 billion, and a 7% decline in automotive exports, which came in at US$15.91 billion. The drop in automotive sales was primarily due to a 9.2% fall in shipments to the United States.
