Mexico is reinforcing its position as a logistics and digital hub in 2026. FINSA, a firm with a decade of presence in the country, acquired an industrial portfolio in Hidalgo for $434 million. This transaction highlights the confidence in the Mexican logistics market, where operational efficiency and proximity to major consumption centers have become critical variables for long-term value generation. Integrating stabilized and fully occupied assets, FINSA strengthens its presence in the central part of the country, aligning with the Plan México to bolster productive infrastructure. The company projects that the data center market in Mexico will grow at an annual rate of 30% towards 2034, positioning it as the leader in digital infrastructure in Latin America. The expectation is that digitalization will eliminate bottlenecks and position the country as a safe destination for global pharmaceutical capital, integrating international standards for operation and health surveillance in this 2026.
In Mexico, the gaming industry generates 200,000 jobs and contributes 0.5% of the GDP, but it faces a crisis of certainty due to a lagging legal framework. Miguel Ángel Ochoa Sánchez, president of AIEJA, warned at the Next Summit NYC 2026 that fiscal pressure and the lack of regulation for online gaming favor illegal platforms. Without updated rules, billions of pesos could be channeled into the informal sector instead of strengthening tax collection and formal investment.
Global pharmaceutical corporations are conditioning new investments on the regulatory certainty at the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris). This adjustment is considered key to unblocking procedures and consolidating Mexico as a logistics hub. Executives in the sector demand greater efficiency, traceability, and transparency to maintain competitiveness against their North American partners. The industry sees a strategic opportunity in the Digital Transformation Agency, led by José Merino, to modernize and digitize Cofepris processes.
