U.S. companies are making a strategic shift, moving production to Mexico to reduce reliance on China and minimize the risks of supply chain disruptions. This trend—called nearshoring—is quickly becoming a smart solution for businesses seeking faster, more reliable supply chains. With escalating tensions and the growing costs of global shipping, nearshoring to Mexico provides the benefit of shorter distances, reduced shipping delays, and a stronger foothold in North America.
A recent survey revealed that global supply chain disruptions can take 6-12 months to resolve. For many businesses, nearshoring is not just an alternative but a necessary step to stay competitive.
Why Nearshoring?
Nearshoring puts you in the driver’s seat, with better oversight, faster shipping, and fewer supply chain headaches.
- More control over products: Closer manufacturing offers better oversight and improved quality control.
- Diversification of risk: Moving away from reliance on China mitigates geopolitical and regulatory risks.
- Cost savings: While production in Mexico may be slightly higher than in China, nearshoring ensures faster deliveries and more predictable costs.
- Reduced port delays: Nearshoring minimizes delays caused by congestion, strikes, or other disruptions at U.S. ports.
- Faster travel times: Shipping from Mexico allows for faster transit compared to shipments from Asia.
- Fewer barriers: Mexico’s proximity reduces language and time-zone challenges, streamlining communication.
