Jalisco Records 81% Rise in New Foreign Investment Amid Shift to High-Tech Manufacturing

Guadalajara, Tuesday, 23 December 2025.
Jalisco is demonstrating remarkable economic resilience, reporting an 81 percent surge in new foreign direct investment (FDI) for 2025. This growth is driven by a strategic pivot toward nearshoring, with capital aggressively flowing into high-value sectors like semiconductors and automotive manufacturing rather than traditional textiles. The most striking indicator of this trend is a massive 400 percent investment spike in the previous quarter alone, solidifying the state’s role as a critical hub in the North American supply chain.
