Mexico Cargo Insurance Market Trends:

Growing Trade Volumes

Increased volumes of trade in Mexico have been a significant driving force behind the market growth. Mexico is one of the world's largest exporters, which has surged the demand for good cargo insurance. According to the estimated World Bank figures in 2023, the total merchandise trade value of Mexico was USD 593 million. Due to such huge trade volumes, the businesses are also at greater risk, such as damage while in transit, loss through theft, or inadequate logistics. As a result, cargo insurance plays a crucial role in securing the good in transit through the borders. Mexico's position as a key North American trading player, with the thriving auto, electronics, and agricultural industries, only serves to highlight the necessity of insuring these high-value goods. With ongoing trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), trade volume is projected to grow, which is fostering the market growth.

Rising E-commerce Sector

The growth of online commerce in Mexico has sparked the need for cargo insurance. As more individuals conduct online shopping, the volume of merchandise being transported across the country has increased dramatically. This online shopping surge has generated more goods in transit, which has increased the chances of damage to goods, delays, or theft. In 2024, Reliance Partners launched the Mexico Cargo Hijacking Data Portal, providing real-time data on cargo theft incidents across the country to help retailers and logistics companies better manage these risks. Therefore, retailers and logistics companies increasingly seek cargo insurance to mitigate against such risks. Moreover, expansion is a perennial prospect for the cargo insurance industry to grow even larger and offer tailored insurance products to e-commerce firms, which is favoring the market growth.

Growing Awareness of Risk Mitigation

There is a growing recognition by Mexico's businesses regarding the necessity of risk mitigation, particularly in shipping and logistics business. Since there is higher risk exposure by numerous threats like theft, destruction, and weather, business has increasingly sought cargo insurance. Businesses involved in logistics and transportation in Mexico cited risk management as a primary concern, with insurance being a key solution. This shift towards prioritizing risk mitigation can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing frequency of criminal activities targeting cargo, such as hijackings and theft, as well as the challenges posed by natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. As companies become more cognizant of these risks, they are more likely to invest in cargo insurance to protect their goods and operations, which is further driving the Mexico cargo insurance market growth.
