Mexico falls in the 2026 emerging markets logistics ranking

Mexico lost one position in Agility's 2026 Emerging Markets Index, compiled by Agility Public Warehousing, although it remains one of the most important emerging economies for global trade and logistics.

The index evaluates countries based on factors such as domestic market opportunities, logistics efficiency, infrastructure quality, and integration into international supply chains. These indicators reflect each country's ability to attract investment and support cross-border trade.

In the 2026 edition, Mexico ranked seventh among the leading emerging markets. Although its overall score showed a slight improvement, other countries advanced more rapidly, causing Mexico to drop in the rankings.

The report indicates that this decline does not represent a structural weakening of the Mexican logistics sector. On the contrary, it highlights the growing competition among emerging economies seeking to strengthen their supply chains, modernize their infrastructure, and attract new manufacturing and distribution projects.

The index also points to the continued volatility of the global logistics environment, driven by geopolitical tensions, trade policy uncertainty, and persistent supply chain disruptions. As a result, companies are prioritizing flexibility, diversification, and investments in technology.

Overall, Mexico remains a key logistics and manufacturing hub. However, the 2026 ranking underscores the need to accelerate infrastructure development, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen competitiveness to maintain its position in global supply networks.
