Chihuahua expects US$3.5 billion in foreign direct investment
The state of Chihuahua is strengthening its position as one of Mexico’s leading industrial hubs, with a pipeline of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects estimated at US$3.5 billion.
These investments are currently in different stages of negotiation and announcement, primarily focused on strategic sectors such as electronics, aerospace, automotive, and mining.
Growing interest from international companies is largely driven by Chihuahua’s proximity to United States, along with its well-established manufacturing base and logistics infrastructure. In the context of nearshoring, the state has become increasingly attractive thanks to its skilled workforce and strong integration into global supply chains.
The outlook builds on solid economic performance in 2025, when Chihuahua surpassed US$1 billion in FDI and achieved record-breaking exports of over US$109 billion. These results have reinforced investor confidence and positioned the state as a competitive destination for high-value industries.
State authorities expect that once these projects are finalized, they will generate thousands of jobs and further diversify the local economy. The anticipated investments are also set to enhance Chihuahua’s global competitiveness, consolidating its role as a key destination for companies looking to expand or relocate operations in Mexico.
