Coahuila Leads Mexico in Automotive Investment
Coahuila ranks as Mexico’s leading automotive investment destination, attracting US$1.4 billion between January and September 2026, according to the “Automotive Investment in Mexico” report for the third quarter, published by Cluster Industrial B2B and cited in a state government press release.
These results place Coahuila first nationwide in accumulated automotive investment, ahead of Nuevo León and Guanajuato. According to the report, during the first nine months of the year, the state registered 14 investment projects, generating approximately 5,302 direct jobs and involving more than 786,655 m² of industrial space under construction. Three of the reported projects are related to electromobility.
The figures highlight the strength of Coahuila’s automotive industry and its ability to attract both domestic and international capital, reflecting the confidence of global companies in the state’s competitive conditions for expanding their operations.
Coahuila’s strategic position within the North American automotive industry is further reinforced by the presence of automakers, auto parts suppliers, specialized component manufacturers, and a well-established supply chain.
The state government continues to work in coordination with the business sector, municipalities, and investors to strengthen competitiveness, create new opportunities for industrial development, and translate investment into more jobs and improved living conditions for Coahuila residents.
This leadership reinforces Coahuila’s role, according to state data, as a major driver of Mexico’s automotive industry and a strategic destination for new investment.
