As the state’s second-largest export market, Mexico is a nation with strong demand for Michigan-made products, services, and technologies, including aerospace, automotive, environmental and pollution control, healthcare and medical, industry 4.0 and advanced manufacturing, and information technologies.

Companies interested in doing business with this manufacturing powerhouse have significant opportunities to grow their sales. Michigan exports to Mexico totaled over 8.7 billion USD in 2020 alone. Not only is this market the second-largest economy in Latin America and the 10th most populous country in the world, inexpensive transportation costs, geographic proximity, and free trade agreements make it easier for Michigan companies to expand within the market.
