Industry Findings: Mexico’s evolving role as a nearshoring and export-production hub is fuelling interest in mobile and pallet-handling robotics that can stabilise throughput during seasonal labour fluctuations. Large industrial parks and new logistics corridors near border regions are triggering demand for equipment capable of navigating mixed environments—older warehouse layouts combined with newer high-bay facilities. This environment pushes buyers to prioritise durability, rapid integration into legacy systems, and support teams that can operate across both multinational and domestic supply-chain workflows.
Industry Progression: Nearshoring and large build-to-suit logistics investments are converting greenfield warehousing into high-robot-adoption sites; Prologis and other developers’ multi-million-sqft projects and build-to-suit facilities for major carriers (ongoing, cited projects in recent years) are prompting operators to pre-spec factory and warehouse shells for AMRs and pallet automation, accelerating procurement decisions for integration-ready robotics and local service footprints.
Industry Players: Players operating in the Mexico industry are ABB Robotics, KUKA, Dematic, Swisslog, Locus Robotics, Exotec Systems, and Grupo Bimbo Robotics Lab etc. Mexico’s surge in nearshoring and new build-to-suit logistics parks is turning greenfield facilities into automation-ready sites; for example, recent multi-million-square-foot logistics developments along the northern corridor in 2024 were pre-specified for AMR and pallet automation, prompting operators to procure integration-ready solutions and pushing vendors to provide strong ERP/WMS connectors and on-the-ground service capability to manage cross-border throughput.
