Taiwan Leads the IT Components Supply Chain in Mexico

Taiwan was the leading foreign supplier of computer parts and accessories to Mexico last year, with US$16.3 billion, according to data from the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Among all of Mexico's major exports in 2025, those that showed the strongest growth were computer equipment, with a year-over-year increase of 84.8% to US$90.7 billion. Subsequently, in the first quarter of this year, they rose by 96.3% to US$90.8 billion.

Other major suppliers of computer parts to the Mexican market last year were China, with US$6.2 billion; Vietnam, with US$4.2 billion; South Korea, with US$3.6 billion; and Malaysia, with US$2.9 million.

With a low domestic content, Mexico has imported most of the raw materials, parts, and components used to assemble computer equipment for both the domestic market and the U.S. market.

Within these imports, the main tariff classification is “parts and accessories for computer equipment,” although there are other classifications related to printed circuit boards or assembled components for processors, memory modules, and servers; computer cases or chassis; power supplies; integrated circuits; electronic components; and monitors and displays, among others.

Mexico's imports of computer equipment from around the world have risen from US$7.6 billion in 2018 to US$34.6 billion in 2025. As a result, Mexico has achieved a record 36.8% share of U.S. computer equipment imports from January through July 2026, taking the top spot as a supplier, followed by Taiwan.
