Sinaloa manufacturing sector faces growth challenges for micro-enterprises

A study by the Alliance for Development and Competitiveness of Companies (ADECEM) reveals a significant disparity in Sinaloa’s manufacturing sector. While micro-enterprises account for approximately 95% of the state's 12,290 manufacturing establishments, they generate only 18.2% of total gross production. In contrast, medium and large companies represent just 1.3% of establishments but concentrate 81.7% of production.

Julio César Silvas Inzunza, president of ADECEM, emphasized that economic growth should focus on helping existing businesses scale up through professionalization, technology adoption, and improved access to financing and markets. The organization is proposing a study of the 116 medium-sized companies in the region to identify successful growth strategies.

ADECEM has presented these findings to the National Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Canacintra) and the state Secretary of Economy. The group is advocating for public policies that recognize regional differences and specific industrial needs rather than a uniform industrial policy, aiming to build a shared agenda between the government and the industrial sector.
