“We are in a production boom for electric cars and Mexico is key in these T-MEC options to provide this kind of material. We expect that in 2026 the auto parts sector will rise to 10% of the total consumption of the plastics industry, mainly due to the projects of the automotive industry to manufacture electric cars in the country”, indicated Torres.

The sector observes a situation in which the consumption of plastics amounts to 5.9 million tons each year, while the production is only 3.8 million tons per year. "We have a deficit in Mexico of 54%, we import a very important volume of what we are producing," added the president of ANIPAC.
