Nuevo León Attracts USD 800 Million in Mexican Investment and Reactivates 18 Projects

The return of Mexican capital and the reactivation of international projects are strengthening Nuevo León’s position as one of Mexico’s leading industrial hubs. 

According to Colliers Mexico, the state has received between USD 700 and 800 million in new investments from domestic companies that had not previously operated in the region.

This trend reflects the opportunities created by regionalization and the role of the USMCA (T-MEC), which has driven companies to become direct suppliers for export to the United States. 

“Tariff measures encouraged Mexican companies that had not invested in the country for some time to return their capital, particularly in manufacturing and value-added services,” explained Colliers’ leadership.

Reactivation of Industrial Projects

The state’s investment landscape has stabilized following a first half marked by uncertainty over U.S. tariffs. Today, both national and international companies are committing to Nuevo León, as evidenced by the 18 projects reactivated by Colliers.

Of these, 11 belong to U.S. companies, while the remainder involve firms from Europe, India, Korea, and Japan. Notably, 90% of these projects are from new companies that had postponed entry due to trade uncertainty but have now decided to establish operations in the region.

Outlook for the Second Half of 2025

Expectations for the second half of 2025 remain optimistic, particularly as key decisions regarding the USMCA’s future are anticipated. These outcomes could trigger even greater capital inflows to Nuevo León.

With its robust infrastructure, skilled workforce, and proximity to the U.S. market, Nuevo León continues to reinforce its role as a strategic destination for manufacturing and industrial investment in Mexico.
