From colorful fabrics to cutting-edge apparel, Mexico's textile industry is a hub of creativity and excellence. Learn about the country's thriving manufacturing sector, its skilled workforce, and the many advantages of producing textiles in Mexico. Explore the latest trends, technologies, and opportunities in this dynamic industry, and find out why Mexico is the ideal destination for your textile manufacturing needs.


Why the Textile Industry Is Perfect for Mexico

In recent years, Mexico's textile industry has grown steadily thanks to a strategic location and a skilled labor force. As a consequence, more and more companies are outsourcing their production requirements to nearshore factories. The textile industry is well suited to Mexico for five reasons.

Textile and Apparel Production Is the Fourth Largest Industry in Mexico

Approximately 415,000 workers served 22,000 apparel companies in Mexico's textile and apparel industry in 2013, accounting for 6 percent of Mexico's gross domestic product and 20 percent of all manufacturing employment, according to the International Trade Administration.

The Mexican textile workforce is more specialized and diversifying than Chinese workers

By 2010, Mexico had fallen from their largest apparel supplier in 2000 to the sixth largest due to China's growth in the manufacturing sector.

In spite of this, these drop-offs revealed a benefit for apparel manufacturers looking for Mexican partners: Instead of the ordinary textile operations that had left the area, specialized workers remained, including leather manufacturers and fabric producers for filters, airbags, seat covers, and other skilled labor-intensive products.

U.S. specialty and industrial textile exports to Mexico accounted for approximately 50 percent of total exports from the U.S. in 2016, representing an increase of 1.13 percent.

Mexico's geographic location makes it a strategic market for exports

Businesses in the textile and apparel industry benefit greatly from Mexico's proximity to the United States. With a 13.5% market share, Mexico is the second-largest supplier of textiles and apparel to the United States. Businesses can take advantage of shorter lead times, lower transportation costs, and easier communication with suppliers and customers by outsourcing nearshore manufacturing to Mexico.

According to Miguel Angel Andreu, a leading Mexican textile and apparel consultant, Mexican manufacturers are increasingly using their low costs and proximity to the US to counter Chinese messaging.

Mexican Textile and Apparel Industry Values Quality Control

There is a strong commitment to quality control in the textile and apparel industry in Mexico. It is mandatory for manufacturers to adhere to strict quality standards so that their products meet or exceed customer expectations. In Mexico, quality control systems are used to monitor production processes, identify defects, and ensure that products are defect-free.

There is an increasing number of Mexican clothing companies offering full package manufacturing, particularly for denim, Mexico's leading apparel export, and T-shirts. Mexican clothing companies work closely with brands in the US to meet specific requirements.

Several countries have favorable trade agreements with Mexico

With a number of favorable trade agreements with other countries, including the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), Mexico is an attractive location for nearshore manufacturing.

Textile and apparel producers will benefit from several provisions of the USMCA, such as rules of origin that encourage the use of North American materials. In addition to improving access to the U.S. market for Mexican textile and apparel products, the agreement eliminates some tariffs.
