Reduced transit time reduces transportation costs. It also addresses manufacturers' ability to change quickly when demand is full by providing relative flexibility in responding to overseas suppliers.

3. Skilled workforce and infrastructure
One of Mexico's main assets is the availability of a skilled workforce and good infrastructure.

The infrastructure is expanding well to form a strong manufacturing base in cities such as Guadalajara and Apodaca. These cities are known for their emphasis on technical education and training.

Education and skills are combined through collaboration between technical schools and industries. These programs are based on the needs of different sectors, such as injection molding, electronics and automotive.


Occteus College of Technology in Guadalajara offers leading fresh dataset programs to train talent in electronics and precision manufacturing technology. The diverse programs include quality control, machine operations, and the detailed technicality of multifaceted manufacturing processes.

The focus on acquiring industry-oriented skills ensures that companies operating in these areas will have a competent workforce. They can undertake quality production with better technological adaptation.

Challenges of the Mexican injection molding industry
The Mexican injection molding industry faces development challenges that may affect future growth and competitiveness of companies.

The most significant challenge is supply chain constraints due to global disruptions in raw material supply. Issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical risks have prevented manufacturers from obtaining raw materials on time, leading to shifts in production schedules. These shifts have negatively impacted customer delivery schedules. These disruptions lead to increased costs and decreased efficiency. As a result, these risks threaten the ability of injection molding companies to meet the growing demand for finished products.

In addition, there is fierce competition between Mexican manufacturers and suppliers from China and Southeast Asia.

Competitors are offering lower prices, especially for bulk orders. This competition can prevent Mexican companies from winning contracts, even in industries that might otherwise have competitive bids. Mexico is opening up a market for its companies, which can get cheaper components and spend more time shipping them. However, companies may start buying components from abroad, as the price difference for less complex components is sometimes too great to ignore.
