Mexico’s FDI Climbs 11% in 2025, Reinforcing Long-Term Investor Confidence

Mexico recorded an 11% year-over-year increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2025, according to the Secretaría de Economía, reinforcing the country’s position as a competitive and resilient destination for global capital deployment.

The composition of FDI highlights sustained investor confidence — and reveals where multinational companies are placing their long-term bets.

• Reinvestment of earnings: 67.7% of total inflows — underscoring the long-term commitment of multinational companies already operating in Mexico. This high level of retained capital signals operational stability, profitability, and continued expansion within existing platforms.
• New investments: 18.0% of total FDI — reflecting ongoing strategic decisions by global companies to establish or expand operations in the country.
• Intercompany accounts: 14.3% — demonstrating continued financial integration and structured capital flows within multinational groups.

The 2025 FDI performance aligns with broader structural trends reshaping global manufacturing and supply chains, including nearshoring, regionalization, and North American trade integration.

Mexico’s industrial infrastructure, skilled workforce, and strategic geographic positioning continue to support its role as a key manufacturing and export hub.

Beyond headline growth, the predominance of reinvested earnings provides a strong signal of investor confidence in Mexico’s long-term fundamentals, regulatory framework, and industrial ecosystem.

Companies aren’t just entering Mexico — they’re staying, scaling, and reinvesting. That’s the clearest indicator of a market that works.
