Mexico Electrical Steel Market

Mexico Electrical Steel Market Overview:

The Mexico electrical steel market size reached USD 503.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 885.1 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% during 2025-2033. Rising investments in power infrastructure, the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) production, government initiatives to modernize the grid, shift toward renewable energy, increasing industrialization, surging demand for smart grid technologies, innovations in domestic steel production, energy efficiency regulations, and the growing electronics sector are factors fostering the market growth.

Mexico Electrical Steel Market Trends:

Rising Investments in Power Infrastructure

Mexico is undergoing a significant transformation in its energy landscape, marked by substantial investments in modernizing and expanding power infrastructure. Public and private sector initiatives are being directed toward enhancing the transmission and distribution network to meet growing electricity demand across residential, industrial, and commercial sectors. These infrastructure projects require large volumes of electrical steel, which is a critical material in the production of transformers, reactors, and other electrical components. In addition to this, the integration of smart grid systems is creating new requirements for advanced materials capable of operating efficiently under fluctuating loads. This trend is further expected to sustain long-term demand for electrical steel, reinforcing the material’s strategic importance in the country’s energy development plans, which is boosting the Mexican electrical steel market share.

Expansion of Electric Vehicle (EV) Production

As per the Mexican electrical steel market forecast, the country’s emergence as a key manufacturing hub for electric vehicles (EVs) is a major catalyst for the market growth. Global automotive giants, including Tesla, General Motors, and BMW, are increasing their production capacities in Mexico, driven by its skilled labor force, cost efficiencies, and favorable trade environment under the USMCA agreement. For instance, in 2024, Volkswagen allocated USD 942 million to its Puebla plant to create a strategic electromobility center, focusing on the assembly of electric and hybrid cars. BMW announced an investment of nearly USD 900 million in San Luis Potosí to manufacture electric vehicles, with operations expected to commence in 2027. Electric vehicles (EVs) require specialized grades of electrical steel, particularly for motor cores and power electronics, where magnetic properties and energy efficiency are paramount. As EV production scales, so does the need for non-grain-oriented electrical steel with low core loss and high magnetic permeability. Furthermore, supporting infrastructure such as charging stations and battery management systems also relies on components made with electrical steel. Furthermore, the localization of EV supply chains is intensifying demand for high-quality electrical materials, positioning Mexico as a critical link in the regional and global EV manufacturing ecosystem, which is accelerating the Mexico electrical steel market growth.

Government Initiatives to Modernize the Grid

The Mexican government is actively promoting modernization of its national grid as part of broader energy reform initiatives. These efforts are aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing system losses, and integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Through agencies such as the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), substantial funding is being allocated to upgrade aging infrastructure, replace outdated transformers, and deploy new substations, applications where electrical steel plays a foundational role. Additionally, regulatory measures promoting energy-efficient technologies are influencing utility companies to adopt higher-grade electrical steel to meet performance standards, which is creating a positive Mexican electrical steel market outlook. The grid modernization program also includes digital infrastructure enhancements, which require precise, reliable electrical components. These strategic government actions are not only strengthening Mexico’s energy security but are also creating a conducive environment for sustained demand in the market.
