Auto parts production by state
The government and private companies in Mexico assure that vehicle and auto parts imports do not represent a threat to U.S. national security. This is due to the integrated North American market, which strengthens regional cooperation.
In addition, economic integration in the automotive sector boosts the competitiveness of the United States and its partners. As a result, the region is successfully positioning itself in global markets.
North American supply chains also strengthen the U.S. manufacturing industry. This allows manufacturers to specialize and compete with Asian and European companies. Therefore, imposing tariffs on the grounds of national security would affect these chains and reduce the ability of the United States to compete both in its own market and abroad.
Here is a breakdown of the share of auto parts production by state in Mexico:
- Coahuila: 14.8 percent.
- Guanajuato: 13.8 percent.
- Nuevo León: 12.8 percent.
- Chihuahua: 8.7 percent.
- Querétaro: 7.9 percent.
- San Luis Potosi: 7.1 percent.
- Puebla: 6.6 percent.
- State of Mexico: 6.3 percent.
- Aguascalientes: 4.4 percent.
- Tamaulipas: 4.2 percent.
United States
Commercial vehicle and automotive suppliers make up the largest manufacturing sector in the United States, with more than 900,000 employees nationwide. In addition, direct, indirect and induced employment in this industry exceeds 4.8 million jobs and contributes 2.5 percent of national GDP.
These suppliers lead innovation in new vehicles. Their companies design and manufacture Original Equipment systems, which account for two-thirds of the value of each automobile. They also supply the spare parts market, guaranteeing the maintenance of millions of vehicles in circulation. As a result, they drive international trade and respond to growing transportation needs.
