Mexico Maritime Freight Market Trends:

Growth in Cross-Border Trade

The increasing cross-border trade between Mexico and its neighboring countries is one of the major drivers of the Mexico maritime freight market. With Mexico establishing itself as a global manufacturing hub, there has been tremendous demand for shipping services to transport goods such as vehicles, electronics, and agricultural produce. The impact of agreements such as the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has further boosted trade, reducing tariffs and simplifying logistics. Furthermore, the shift towards nearshoring, where companies relocate supply chains closer to Mexico, is expanding the volume of cargo passing through its ports. The expansion in cross-border commerce not only expanding maritime volumes of freight but also positioning Mexico as a significant participant within the global logistics, propelling the expansion in its maritime market share of freight. For instance, in July 2024, HMM and Ocean Network Express (ONE) launched a new shipping service connecting Asia and Mexico. The Far East-Latin America Express (FLX) route will have a 42-day round-trip duration, making stops in Shanghai, Busan, and Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, to enhance trade and logistics.

Increasing Adoption of Sustainability and Green Shipping Initiatives

Sustainability is becoming a critical focus in Mexico maritime freight market growth. To minimize environmental footprint and adhere to international standards on emissions, most shipping firms are embracing green technology and fuel-saving techniques. This involves the use of new fuels, ship retrofitting with green technologies, and logistics optimization for minimized fuel consumption. Besides, Mexico's membership in international environmental conventions further promotes the reduction of emissions and cleaner shipping. Consequently, Mexico is drawing investments in green shipping infrastructure, which will help drive the long-term sustainability and growth of the maritime freight industry, thus having a positive influence on the Mexico maritime freight market share. For instance, in April 2025, Yanmar Power Technology received Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV for its GH320FC Maritime Hydrogen Fuel Cell System. This innovative system provides a flexible, scalable power solution for marine applications. The hydrogen fuel cell technology supports decarbonisation goals.
