Despite the expansion of companies taking advantage of nearshoring, Guanajuato, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Aguascalientes are not among the top eight entities that attracted the most foreign direct investment in the first quarter of 2023.

Mexico City, Nuevo León, Jalisco, Puebla, State of Mexico, Veracruz, Baja California, and Chihuahua concentrate 78% of the foreign direct investment in Mexico. However, the Bajío region has experienced a strong recovery in the leasing of industrial warehouses due to the demand from logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing companies.

Nearshoring continues to generate dynamism in Guanajuato, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Aguascalientes, and the industrial market in Querétaro is regaining its momentum driven by the demand for industrial spaces. In addition, efforts are being made to improve the electricity supply capacity in Querétaro, and significant investment projects are expected in the state.

The global automotive industry is recovering, which forecasts an increase in the demand for industrial spaces in Guanajuato, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Aguascalientes, especially with the announcement of Tesla's new plant and the growth of original equipment manufacturers already established in the Bajío region and the northeast of the country.
