Mexico's Market Growth: Motorcycles, Franchises, and Customs Security

Indian Motorcycle, an American brand, has for the fourth consecutive year remained the best-selling motorcycle brand in its category in Mexico, overcoming the challenges of an increasingly competitive luxury market. The company's strategy is distinguished by its unwavering focus on the premium segment of medium and large-displacement motorcycles. In 2026, the synergy between the private sector and regulatory institutions is solidifying as a critical factor to ensure the legality and competitiveness of supply chains crossing Mexico's borders.

In the plastics industry, a premise is gaining ground that manufacturers of packaging and consumer companies are hearing more often: that recycling is not solved at the end of the chain, but from the product's design. In 2026, the firm demonstrates that exclusivity and performance are the engines driving its profitability, transforming a heritage of over a century into a modern competitive advantage for the southern continent.

The Mexican Franchise Association (AMF) awarded Churrería Porfirio the prestigious 'Franchise of the Year 2026' award, after standing out among hundreds of national and international brands. While other manufacturers explore entry-level models to massify their presence, Indian bets on aspirational value and technological innovation. This success in the Mexican market not only strengthens the brand locally but also positions the country as the strategic axis to replicate this growth in the rest of the region.

Led by Daniel Enriquez, Regional Manager, the U.S. firm reported a 35% growth in 2025, reaching a historical sales milestone in the country. With over 200 active units, the recognition validates the stability and operational excellence of a system that has managed to standardize a traditional product for the global market.

The brand's success lies in its aggressive location strategy, with a presence in airports, bus terminals, KidZania, and Chapultepec Zoo. According to the AMF, this award is not a mention of popularity, but a certification that its financial and operational structure functions with precision, making Churrería Porfirio the current benchmark in the food and beverage sector within the Mexican franchise ecosystem.

CAAAREM and IMPI secure customs. The Confederation of Associations of Customs Brokers of the Mexican Republic (CAAAREM), chaired by José Ignacio Zaragoza Ambrosi, and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), led by Santiago Nieto Castillo, formalized a strategic alliance to secure Mexico's foreign trade. By improving traceability and operational control at customs, the goal is not only to combat piracy but also to modernize customs clearance under international security standards.

This collaboration grants customs brokers an active role in the prevention and investigation of administrative infractions.
