Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.50% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising demand for automotive chips, fueled by the country’s strong auto manufacturing sector. Nearshoring trends, cost advantages, and USMCA trade benefits also attract investments. Government incentives and supply chain diversification efforts further enhance growth, positioning Mexico as a key semiconductor hub in North America.

Mexico Semiconductor Foundry Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Automotive Semiconductors in Mexico

The rising demand for automotive semiconductors is majorly driven by the Mexico semiconductor foundry market growth. Mexico became the fourth-largest auto parts producer in the world, and it is poised to become the fifth-largest vehicle manufacturer by the end of 2025. Having produced over 200,000 units and securing 68 new investments in electromobility just this year, the country is quickly moving towards EVs. With U.S. automotive giants and China's EV makers establishing localized supply chains for them, Mexico's fledgling foundry sector is fast becoming integral to the future of the automotive sector. Mexico is all set to play a key role as the future of auto technology in North America transforms, with over 170 Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers of EV components. Mexico is a key hub for automotive manufacturing, hosting major global automakers and suppliers. As vehicles become more advanced with electric powertrains, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and connected car technologies, the need for specialized chips has accelerated. Local foundries are expanding their capabilities to meet this demand, supported by government incentives and foreign investments. Additionally, the USMCA trade agreement strengthens supply chain integration with the U.S., further enhancing semiconductor production for automotive applications. With global chip shortages highlighting the need for regional supply resilience, Mexico is positioning itself as a strategic player in North America’s semiconductor ecosystem. This trend is further creating a positive Mexico semiconductor foundry market outlook.

Growth in Nearshoring Semiconductor Production

Mexico’s semiconductor foundry market is benefiting from the global shift toward nearshoring, as companies seek to reduce supply chain risks. The country’s proximity to the U.S., cost-competitive labor, and established manufacturing infrastructure make it an attractive location for semiconductor production. Mexico has attracted over USD 7.8 Billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) for electronics manufacturing, which includes USD 206 Million for 2023. It offers tax breaks of up to 76% on equipment for semiconductor manufacturing, positioning itself as an ever-more-important player in the global chip supply chain. Some major cities, including Monterrey, Tijuana, and Reynosa, are becoming sophisticated electronics centers, serving large manufacturers such as LG, Samsung, and Time Interconnect. With 487 electronics firms and a growing demand from the automotive and telecommunications sectors, Mexico's foundry and semiconductor landscape is poised for substantial growth. Many U.S. and Asian firms are exploring partnerships with Mexican foundries to diversify their supply chains away from geopolitical hotspots. Additionally, government initiatives, such as tax incentives and R&D support, are encouraging investment in local semiconductor fabrication. The growing demand for consumer electronics, IoT devices, and industrial automation chips is expanding the Mexico semiconductor foundry market share. As global companies prioritize regionalized production, Mexico is emerging as a key nearshoring destination for semiconductor manufacturing, fostering technological advancement and economic growth in the sector.
