Jalisco Announces US$625 Million Industrial Park Investment

Summary: Jalisco announced US$625 million to develop more than 800,000m² of industrial parks, reflecting strong nearshoring demand, record absorption and rising exports that reinforce the state’s role as a key non-border manufacturing and logistics hub. Parallel investments in San Luis Potosí and new projects from Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks under Plan México expand national industrial capacity and logistics infrastructure. The developments affect manufacturing, logistics and export-oriented sectors, supporting supply chains and foreign investment tied to North American trade.

Jalisco announced a projected investment of US$625 million for the development of more than 800,000m²  of industrial parks, reinforcing its position as one of Mexico’s main investment destinations. The expansion responds to sustained demand for industrial space and continued growth in strategic sectors.

The new developments are expected to strengthen logistics capacity, support nearshoring activity, and expand industrial infrastructure across the state. The announcement follows strong industrial performance in the state. Jalisco recorded a record absorption of 677,906m² in 2025, representing close to US$500 million in investment and a 25% increase compared with 2024.

The performance reflects continued confidence from domestic and international companies operating in the region. Additionally, new industrial space currently under construction has already been pre-leased, indicating immediate occupancy once projects are completed and confirming sustained market demand.

This demand aligns with broader national efforts to expand industrial infrastructure as companies relocate operations closer to North American markets.

Beyond industrial absorption, macroeconomic indicators continue to support Jalisco’s growth trajectory. The state ranked second nationally in foreign direct investment inflows during 4Q25, with strong participation from electronics and agroindustrial sectors. Jalisco also reached US$52.6 billion in exports in 2025, positioning it as Mexico’s leading non-border exporting state and accounting for nearly 9% of national exports, surpassing Sonora and Tamaulipas.

Connectivity remains a key factor behind this performance. The state benefits from access to the Port of Manzanillo, along with air and ground transportation infrastructure that supports trade with North America and Asia. This ecosystem integrates sectors such as technology, logistics and agroindustry, while also strengthening local supply chains and attracting new investment.

San Luis Potosi, AMPIP Expand Industrial Capacity

As local infrastructure expands, national efforts to accelerate industrial development are also advancing through coordinated public-private initiatives.

Industrial expansion is advancing in San Luis Potosí with the opening of the World Trade Center Industrial Park 3 in Villa de Pozos, developed by Grupo Valoran. The new park is designed to strengthen regional connectivity, support supply chains and expand logistics capacity. Its location within key industrial corridors is expected to improve operational efficiency and transportation of goods, reported MBN. The development aims to support sectors including automotive, manufacturing and distribution while encouraging the arrival of suppliers and complementary services. 

Industrial development is also supported by new transportation infrastructure. The government of San Luis Potosi granted Grupo Valoran a 40-year concession to construct and operate a 118.4km highway connecting the 75D junction with Matehuala.

The project, valued at more than MX$20 billion (US$967 million), is expected to open in May 2027 and aims to improve freight transportation and regional competitiveness. The concession consortium includes Promotora Mexicana de Autopistas Valoran and requires at least 20% risk capital, with additional financing secured through other funding sources.

Meanwhile, Yamaguchi MFG México inaugurated a new manufacturing facility in Villa de Pozos with an investment exceeding MX$250 million and the creation of 100 direct jobs. The company cited workforce availability, logistics and business conditions as key factors in selecting the region. The plant is expected to strengthen supply chains and support nearshoring trends across North America.

Authorities said the investment reflects continued confidence from Japanese companies and is expected to generate opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises.

At the national level, developers affiliated with the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks have delivered the first 20 industrial parks under Plan México, part of a broader strategy to develop 100 parks nationwide.

The projects represent more than US$711 million in investment and add approximately 3.5 million m² of industrial capacity. The developments could host around 245 manufacturing and logistics companies and generate an estimated 62,000 direct jobs, reported MBN. 

Altagracia Gómez, Coordinator of the Regional Economic Development and Relocation Advisory Council, presented the milestone during AMPIP’s first 2026 General Assembly, highlighting collaboration between government and private developers. Claudia Esteves said the projects demonstrate coordination between the private sector and government to advance industrial development.
