Neither the pandemic nor the security situation that exists in some municipalities of the state has kept investment from industries in Guanajuato away, since from January to October 2021 the state attracted approximately 17% of the construction of industries that were completed in the country.

According to a report prepared by the consulting firm Solili, one of the main information platforms of the real estate sector in the country, from January to October 80,769 square meters of industrial buildings were demanded, both for the arrival of new investments and for the expansion of factories located in the state.

This demand means an increase of 47% compared to what was built the previous year and 10% more compared to what was registered during 2019.
