North American automotive supply chain integration

Overview

The North American automotive sector is characterized by deep economic integration, particularly between Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Industry leaders have defended this bilateral relationship, noting that Mexico accounts for approximately 44.59% of total component imports in the United States.

To strengthen this position, Mexico is targeting the development of its domestic supply chain to substitute imports, specifically in specialized sectors like semiconductors, electronics, and raw materials. This shift is partly driven by United States trade restrictions on Asian products. While Mexico maintains a significant presence in the North American chain, industry data shows a heavy concentration at the Tier 1 supplier level, which accounts for 60% of the supply, leaving Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers at 31% and 8% respectively. Strengthening these deeper supplier levels is viewed as a strategic necessity for securing essential components.
