WHAT IS NEARSHORING?

What is nearshoring?
Nearshoring is the practice of outsourcing business processes or manufacturing to a nearby country. This is often done to reduce costs while maintaining a certain level of control over the outsourced operations.
What are the nearshoring trends?

The primary trend in nearshoring is a growing preference for companies to move manufacturing and business operations closer to their home markets, particularly to neighboring countries, driven by factors like supply chain resilience, cost-effectiveness, faster delivery times, and reduced geopolitical risks, with regions like North America seeing significant activity in nearshoring practices.

What is the difference between nearshoring and offshoring?
Nearshoring and offshoring are both strategies used by companies to outsource business processes or manufacturing, but they differ in terms of geographic location, the level of control involved, and which regional economy it benefits.
Is nearshoring the same as reshoring?

While both nearshoring and reshoring involve a shift in business operations, they differ in their geographic scope. Reshoring entails returning operations to the company’s home country, while nearshoring involves relocating them to a nearby one.

The impact of geographical diversification

Geographical diversification is becoming a key strategy for companies seeking to optimize their operations and enhance their competitiveness globally. Western companies, in an effort to get closer to their markets and reduce costs, are relocating part of their operations to Mexican territory.

This movement is driven by:

  • Pursuit of operational efficiencies and lower operating costs
  • Desire to mitigate risks associated with dependence on distant markets, especially in the context of political and trade tensions
  • Long-term strategic considerations on how to position oneself favorably in an uncertain and competitive global market

What is the "tech-shoring"?

Mexico stands out for its rich human capital and growing specialization in technological sectors, attracting investments in innovative areas such as e-commerce. This trend is called "tech-shorings", similar to nearshoring, but emphasizing Mexico's evolution toward a more diversified economy with greater capacity to attract foreign investments in high-value-added sectors.
