Foreign Trade in Figures

Mexico is highly open to foreign trade, which represented 88% of its GDP in 2022 (World Bank, latest available data). The country mainly exports cars (8.1%), automatic data-processing machines (7.4%), vehicle parts (6.6%), vehicles for the transport of goods (5.7%), and petroleum oils (5.5%). As for imports, Mexico’s main purchases include petroleum oils (6.9%), parts and accessories for motor vehicles (4.9%), electronic integrated circuits (4.4%), petroleum gas (2.9%), and telephone sets (2.7% - data Comtrade).

Mexico is heavily dependent on commercial relations with its main trading partner – the United States – which accounts for more than three-quarters of the country’s exports (78.1% in 2022). Other destinations for Mexican exports include Canada (2.7%), China (1.9%), Germany (1.4%), Brazil and Japan (0.9% each). As per imports, the main origins include the U.S. (43.8%), China (19.6%), South Korea (3.7%), Germany (3.1%), and Japan (3% - data INEGI). Mexico has signed a dozen free-trade agreements with about forty different countries of the world. Other trade advantages of Mexico include the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (which replaced NAFTA in 2020), its free-trade agreement with the European Union since 2000, a trade agreement with Japan since 2005 and the 2012 foundation of the Pacific Alliance along with Colombia, Chile and Peru.

The country's trade balance is structurally negative. In 2022, exports of goods reached USD 578.1 billion against USD 626.3 billion in imports (-7.6% and +19.8%, respectively). Concerning services, exports stood at USD 36 billion (+32.7%, mostly due to the positive performance of the tourism sector), whereas imports totalled USD 46.8 billion (+20.8% y-o-y). According to preliminary data from INEGI, merchandise exports stood at USD 577.7 billion in 2023, against USD 604.6 billion in imports.
