Latin America’s industrial sector faces significant social, political, and economic challenges. The region is experiencing a "plural crisis" with social and political unrest coupled with economic uncertainty. However, these challenges are also opening doors to strategic investments, particularly for those who remain resilient.

The industrial and logistics sector has experienced accelerated changes since the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by disruptions in global supply chains, increasing transportation costs, and changing consumer behaviors.

Nearshoring has become a major trend, particularly in Mexico, with many US-based companies relocating their production and distribution facilities closer to home to reduce dependence on Asian supply chains as a direct response to issues faced during the pandemic, such as delayed shipments and rising shipping costs.
