Ciudad Juárez has faced factors that have caused a decline in demand levels. A year ago, the market was affected by energy shortages, which significantly reduced demand. Currently, in March 2025, northern markets, especially those along the border, are being impacted by the uncertainty generated by the possible imposition of tariffs announced by United States President Donald Trump.

Due to the drop in market demand, projects that have completed construction have increased the city's industrial supply. Vacancy in the market amounts to more than 480,000 square meters, placing the vacancy rate at 6%.

By March 2025, industrial construction levels in Ciudad Juárez will total 148,000 square meters, representing a 52% decrease compared to the construction recorded in the same month in 2024.

Developers such as Centinela Property, Intermex, Prologis, MEOR, Roca Desarrollos, American Industries, Vesta, among others, have a wide and varied industrial offering. This situation has caused a pause in the start of new projects, while they wait for demand to stabilize and continue expanding industrial infrastructure in the market.
