  • Problem:

  • The automotive industry faces a multifaceted crisis in 2026 characterized by geopolitical tensions that limit the supply of semiconductors, a decline in production and exports, and the challenge of transitioning to electric vehicles. High costs, component shortages, and uncertainty in the domestic market are driving a reconfiguration of the supply chain.

  • Main Manufacturing and Market Problems (2025-2026):
  • • Geopolitical Conflicts and Chips: The semiconductor shortage is no longer just due to the pandemic, but also to conflicts between China and Western powers (such as the restrictions in the Netherlands), causing technical shutdowns and production cuts.
  • • Decline in Production and Exports: Countries like Mexico have registered significant declines in production (up to 6.1% in periods up to 2025) and exports, affecting brands such as General Motors, Volkswagen, and Nissan.
  • • Transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs): The adoption of new technologies requires a huge investment, reconfiguring traditional plants and generating high competition.
  • • Logistics and Raw Materials: Supply chain problems persist, with shortages of raw materials and logistical issues that extend unit delivery times.
  • • Domestic Market and Prices: High prices for new vehicles, resulting from inflation and technological complexity, cause consumers to postpone purchases.
  • • "Chocolate Cars" and Regulation: The entry of unregistered used vehicles (more than 3 million in Mexico) affects the sale of new vehicles and the environmental impact.
  • Challenges for the Near Future:
  • • Tariffs and USMCA: Trade tensions, especially tariffs on Chinese components or vehicles, create uncertainty in regional integration (USMCA).
  • • Skilled Talent: Difficulty in finding specialized personnel in new technologies and automation.

  • The industry seeks stability through diversification of suppliers and adaptation to consumer demands for more technological and sustainable options.
