Mexican Exports Break Record in the U.S. and Grow 35% with Brazil Despite Trade Barriers

Published 03/07/2025

Mexico shows its commercial strength amid tariff tensions and without formal trade agreements.

Mexico Sets New Export Record to the U.S.

In May 2025, Mexico reached a historic milestone by exporting 46 billion dollars to the United States—its highest monthly figure ever. This achievement came despite the renewed tariffs promoted by former President Donald Trump, aimed at pressuring companies to relocate supply chains.

Nevertheless, Mexican companies have strengthened their competitiveness and responsiveness to U.S. demand, making Mexico the top trade partner of the U.S., surpassing China and Canada.

Brazil and Mexico: Growing Trade Without a Formal Agreement

Meanwhile, Mexico’s trade relationship with Brazil has also gained momentum. In the first half of 2025, bilateral trade increased by 35% year over year, despite the absence of a formal trade agreement between the two countries.

The most active sectors include:

  • Industrial machinery
  • Agribusiness
  • Automotive components
  • Chemical products

This trade boost is largely driven by regional strategic partnerships and a shared interest in market diversification.

What makes this even more significant is that Mexico and Brazil are currently working on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that would strengthen and formalize the economic ties between the two largest economies in Latin America.

Mexican Companies Embrace Nearshoring and Logistics Networks

The nearshoring trend has been key to Mexico’s trade success. The country has become a strategic location for manufacturers seeking proximity to the U.S. market, while minimizing logistical risks and avoiding tariff complications.

This export surge has also been supported by:

  • Modern industrial infrastructure
  • Strategic geographic location
  • Skilled labor force
  • Tax incentives and investment support

In this context, companies like American Industries Group have played a vital role by offering turnkey solutions for foreign companies settling in Mexico, including industrial parks, legal support, and administrative services. Learn more at: https://www.americanindustriesgroup.com/
