San Luis Potosí Ranks Among Mexico’s Fastest-Growing Economies in 2025

San Luis Potosí recorded a 2.3% economic growth in Q1 2025, driven by industrial investment and infrastructure modernization.

San Luis Potosí positioned itself among the top four fastest-growing state economies in Mexico during the first quarter of 2025, registering a 2.3% increase in economic activity compared to the previous quarter. The data, adjusted for seasonality, was reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) through its Quarterly Indicator of State Economic Activity (ITAEE).

This result places San Luis Potosí alongside Sinaloa, Nayarit, and Guerrero as the only states with comparable growth during the period, outperforming the national average. The figures indicate steady economic acceleration at a time when few regions in the country experienced similar expansion early in the year.

Industrial Strength and Infrastructure Drive Expansion

The state’s performance has been supported by a strategy focused on strengthening its industrial sector, modernizing logistics infrastructure, and attracting foreign direct investment. These factors have created favorable conditions for increased productivity and regional competitiveness.

According to state authorities, targeted efforts in key sectors such as automotive, advanced manufacturing, and agribusiness have made San Luis Potosí an attractive location for both domestic and international companies. This has translated into the creation of well-paying formal jobs and a more robust economic outlook.

Regulatory Improvements Support Business Growth

An active regulatory improvement agenda has streamlined the permitting process for new industrial projects and supported the expansion of existing companies. These efforts have reinforced the state's position as a leading economic hub in the Bajío region.

Positive Outlook for the Remainder of the Year

In a national context marked by uneven performance across states, San Luis Potosí’s first-quarter growth highlights its role as a regional economic engine with optimistic prospects for the remainder of 2025.
