Currently, companies from all over the world are moving production and equipment to Mexico in their search for a manufacturing center closer to the United States and Canada

, so Baja California is shaping up to be one of the entities that will benefit the most from this modality.

Román Caso Espinosa, CEO of Shelter Co-Production International and member of Canacintra Tijuana´s supply commission, made a comment on this. He explained that this phenomenon is known as "nearshoring," which has to do with moving production, supply, and logistics processes as close to the primary consumer markets as possible.

The benefits for global businesses, according to him, include cost savings, improved controls that will result in higher-quality products, a reduction in time zone and cultural differences, and more control over the decision-making process.

The present Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, the cheap labor costs in the nation, as well as quick and safe supply chains, are some of the characteristics that favor Mexico and particularly Baja California to benefit from nearshoring, he said.

Despite the consequences of the pandemic, Mexico has developed into a significant international investment hub for businesses looking to have an impact on the market with their products, according to Caso Espinosa.

In this respect, he declared that it has become more obvious that "nearshoring" can be an additional strategy for accelerating economic growth in Mexico, and that is why the Ministry of Economy's officials have made it a top priority to create the conditions necessary for multinational corporations to relocate there.

In conclusion, Baja California is ideally situated to gain a lot from nearshoring because of its advantageous business environment, strategic location, and competent workforce. This state is an appealing choice for anyone looking to take advantage of Mexico's proximity to the United States as more businesses try to relocate their operations closer to home.

Baja California is positioned to grow as a center for nearshoring in the coming years thanks to its strong industrial base and accessibility to numerous markets. By capitalizing on its advantages and making ongoing investments in its people and infrastructure, the area can maximize the advantages of nearshoring and open up fresh possibilities for its development.
