"So many companies have been arriving that now we have a big problem, there is not enough space to serve all those medium, large and macro companies that have been settling here," the director of the Association of Industrial Parks of the State of Jalisco (APIEJ), Javier Lemarroy Mendoza.

Until the third quarter of the year, the agency reported an absorption of 290,000 square meters; however, the main challenge currently facing the sector is "the lack of built inventory," he said.

“We have a great challenge that is lack of built inventory. Currently, due to the geopolitical situation, Jalisco and Mexico are a winning player in all the trade wars that are taking place globally and fortunately, many companies are arriving in the Central-Western region of the country,” said the director of APIEJ.

And it is that, the change in consumption habits as a result of the pandemic that generated a considerable increase in electronic commerce and home deliveries, as well as the increase in the cost of maritime transport, the trade war between the United States and China that is causing the relocation of companies have generated a wave of new investments seeking to establish themselves in this region.

“More and more medium-sized and larger companies are asking for industrial warehouses even above 15,000 square meters. They are global companies,” he explained.

The rising cost of maritime transport, the trade war between the United States and China are causing the relocation of companies and generating a wave of new investments.
