Have you ever wondered how to take your business beyond our borders? Mexico City is that great strategic ally that connects markets, facilitates your operations and drives you to conquer the world. We want to show you how this incredible capital has become a take-off platform for international business, and how comprehensive logistics solutions are changing the way companies like yours compete.
The City as the Epicenter of Mexico's Foreign Trade
The importance of our Mexico City in trade goes far beyond our country. According to information from Data Mexico of the Ministry of Economy, in 2023 alone, international sales of the CDMX reached the impressive figure of 133.8 billion dollars, while purchases reached 180.8 billion dollars! This trade dynamic is strongly supported by key sectors such as automotive, energy and technology, which have found in the United States, Canada and South Korea their most important trading partners.
In his participation in THE LOGISTICS WORLD SUMMIT & EXPO 2025, Vicente Gutiérrez Camposeco, president of the National Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism of Mexico City (CANACO CDMX), put it clearly: the commercial sector of the CDMX is fundamental to generate international business, a real springboard for Mexican companies with a global vision!

The Challenge of Growing Internationally: Are We Tapping Our Full Potential?
We know that, although we have an enviable geographic location and an infrastructure that continues to develop, Mexican companies often encounter obstacles when they want to expand to other countries. Data from the World Bank invite us to reflect: only 1.2% of Mexican companies directly export at least 10% of their sales. This figure is quite minor if we compare it with 6.4% in Latin America and 10.5% in upper-middle income countries.
Curious, isn't it? Mexico has a network of 14 trade agreements covering nearly 40 countries, in addition to that strategic location that experts consider "the most strategic in the world".
So what is holding back our export potential? The answer is complex and ranges from bureaucratic red tape to the logistical challenges of global supply chains. (Article - El economista)

Case Study: Optimized Logistics for an Automotive Exporter
Imagine a Mexican auto parts manufacturer based here in Mexico City, facing difficulties meeting tight delivery deadlines from its customers in the United States and Canada. The complexity of customs procedures and lack of visibility into its supply chain were causing delays and extra costs, putting its competitiveness at risk.
By working with Solistica's solutions, they achieved a complete transformation:
- We implemented a real-time traceability system.
- We optimize distribution routes, reducing transit times by 22%.
- We consolidated cargo to maximize transportation efficiency.
- We established a simplified customs process.
The result? An 18% reduction in logistics costs and a 97% improvement in on-time delivery performance. This not only allowed the manufacturer to maintain its contracts, but also expand its presence in the North American market.
Trends and What's Next: A New Trade Map from the CDMX
This 2025 presents us with a landscape of rapid change in international trade, with Mexico City as a focal point. The trends that will mark this transformation include digitization, e-commerce, sustainability, nearshoring and technological advances in logistics. However, we must also be alert to possible adjustments in the trade policies of important partners such as the United States.
Santander Trade's analysis gives us good news: they project a potential growth in Mexican exports of 3.3% annually by 2025, especially in the automotive and technology sectors. For this growth to become a reality, it will be key for organizations like yours to efficiently integrate new technologies into their logistics processes and develop the necessary agility to adapt to this dynamic environment.
Institutions with a long history such as CANACO CDMX, with its 150 years of experience, are facilitating this path through specialized services such as the issuance of the ATA Carnet, "unique in Mexico, which facilitates the temporary admission of goods abroad", along with counseling for entrepreneurs with an international vision.
