Mexico server exports surpass automotive industry in 2026

AI server exports Mexico manufacturing Artificial Intelligence Index ECLAC supply chain

In the first half of 2026, Mexico's server exports for artificial intelligence reached approximately $83 billion, surpassing the $75 billion generated by the automotive and auto parts industry. This shift is driven largely by demand from the United States, where Mexico provides roughly 40% of AI server imports.

Industrial activity is concentrated in the states of Chihuahua and Jalisco. However, much of the production is managed by foreign companies, particularly from Taiwan. High-value components such as processors, graphics units, and memory are imported from Taiwan, China, South Korea, and Malaysia. Currently, the national content in these servers is estimated to be between 3% and 7%.
