In recent years, the boom in the logistics sector in Mexico has been evident, derived –among other factors– from the Covid-19 pandemic that boosted e-commerce, and the relocation of companies in Mexico as an ideal destination due to its location, geography, trade agreements, industrial zones and transportation routes.

According to a recent report by Newmark, the growth trend in the demand for industrial spaces from companies specializing in e-commerce will continue over the next two years.

Given this area of opportunity, the State of Mexico seeks to position itself as an investment pole in this sector and, subsequently, the largest logistics center in the country, in order to be competitive in the new global economic environment.

On several occasions, the state governor, Alfredo Del Mazo Maza, has highlighted the conditions of connectivity and infrastructure that the entity has, at the same time that they promote the generation of employment and that they represent an advantage to achieve standing out in said sector.

In addition to these advantages, Edomex is located in one of the largest markets in the country, with more than 22 million consumers, which makes it an attractive region in terms of logistics, a situation that has been recognized by national and international companies that have opted to invest in the state.

The most recent investment case is that of the pasta manufacturer Grupo La Moderna, which will make a capital injection of 41.64 million euros in a new pasta plant, which will have a capacity of 70,000 tons per month.

During his fifth Government Report, the state president pointed out that in recent years 447,000 million pesos have been captured, 40% of them in the last year alone. He highlighted that, since 2017, every 10 days a high-impact investment is announced in Edomex.

Among these announcements, some of the most important are: Vitro and Vidrio Forms, for 1,700 million pesos, Hitachi Astemo and ZF Chassis, for 2,220 million, Cartró and Smurfit Kappa, for 6,500 million, Becton Dickinson and Novartis, for 1,250 million, Innova Schools, for 2,400 million and Mondelez, Nissin Foods and Unilever, for more than 6,000 million pesos

In this sense, a report on industrial activity in Latin America, carried out by Newmark, highlighted the growth that the Mexican economy has registered in various areas of the country, which has generated that entities such as Mexico City show occupations of 100% in several of its industrial corridors.

This fact also represents an opportunity for Edomex, since this level of occupation could cause companies to turn to the entity as the next option to find a space to settle.
