Mexico Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Integrated Automation in Industrial Facilities

Mexico is witnessing increasing demand for integrated automation platforms that combine process control, safety, and electrical systems. Industries such as pulp and paper are actively upgrading existing infrastructure with unified control architectures, allowing more efficient and centralized management of operations. These systems often incorporate PLC-based controls, enabling real-time performance monitoring and improved reliability. Adoption is driven by the need to enhance productivity, reduce downtime, and support digital transformation initiatives across manufacturing sectors. As industries modernize, the focus is shifting toward automation solutions that streamline complex workflows while ensuring scalability for future requirements. This shift reflects broader investments in smart factory capabilities, where programmable logic controllers serve as a foundational element in executing seamless, data-driven industrial processes across multiple verticals in Mexico. For example, in March 2024, ABB secured a major automation project at Smurfit Kappa’s board mill in Los Reyes, Mexico. The upgrade includes the ABB Ability System 800xA, integrating control and electrical systems commonly used in PLC-based operations. This deployment supports advanced process automation in the pulp and paper sector, strengthening ABB’s presence in Mexico’s industrial automation and PLC market.

Growing Focus on Engineering Hubs for Automation Support

Mexico is emerging as a strategic location for advanced engineering centers focused on automation and industrial project delivery. Facilities dedicated to electrical, automation, and software engineering are playing a critical role in supporting PLC-based systems across a wide range of industries. These centers help streamline project execution, reduce lead times, and improve technical support for complex automation solutions. By building local expertise, companies can enhance responsiveness to regional industrial demands and ensure better integration of programmable logic controllers into large-scale infrastructure and manufacturing operations. This development reflects a broader shift toward decentralizing engineering capabilities, where Mexico serves not just as a manufacturing base but also as a critical contributor to the design and implementation of modern automation systems powered by PLCs. For instance, in January 2023, ABB launched its Mexico Technology and Engineering Center (MXTEC) in Mérida to strengthen automation engineering capabilities across North America. The center focuses on automation, electrical, and software engineering, supporting project execution in industrial segments that utilize PLC systems. This expansion enhances ABB’s capacity to deliver PLC-integrated automation solutions, positioning Mexico as a key hub in ABB’s regional strategy.
