As we pivot into 2024, US-Mexico trade is set for a remarkable uptick, propelled by the strategic move towards nearshoring. Sri Laxmana, a seasoned expert at C.H. Robinson, shines a light on Mexico’s burgeoning role in diversifying global supply chains, emphasizing its geographical advantage next to the US. With an impressive 40% of shippers exploring nearshoring, according to C.H. Robinson’s 2023 survey, the move is clearly gaining momentum. This trend is notably evident in the auto industry, poised for expansion, thanks to Mexico’s robust manufacturing ecosystem. C.H. Robinson’s expansive Laredo, Texas, facility, boasting the capacity for 350 daily shipments, underscores the logistical industry’s readiness for this trade surge. As nearshoring reshapes supply chains, stakeholders are keenly watching the transformative impact on US-Mexico trade dynamics.
