On the other hand, during January, no new construction of industrial buildings was completed, except for Monterrey, which added 5,000 m² to its inventory.

The maintenance in the supply chain at the end of the year was a favorable advantage for the northern markets. Due to the fact that sectors such as electronics, aerospace, automotive and electrical made their expansions into markets with a strong integration of suppliers.

However, in a promising scenario for the industrial sector, the scarcity of land with infrastructure and the rise in the main inputs could represent risks for the markets. Therefore, they must be quantified in order to finalize the negotiations between developers and potential tenants.

Likewise, the electrical reform could affect the good performance forecast for industrial activity. In this way, the change towards clean energy will become a necessity, an action that will bring about changes in production processes and that will impact industrial buildings.
