U.S. Auto Imports From Mexico (MAUINSA)

Volume Surge: As of April 2025, MAUINSA reached 67,113 units, reflecting Mexico’s dominant role in supplying autos to the U.S..

Trade Surplus: Mexico exported $137.1 billion in automotive goods to the U.S. in 2024, while importing only $33.1 billion back—creating a $104 billion trade surplus.

USMCA Impact: The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) raised regional value content requirements from 62.5% to 75%, boosting North American sourcing and reducing reliance on non-member countries.

Integrated Supply Chains: Nearly 38% of the value added in Mexican vehicle exports to the U.S. originates from American-made components, showing deep bilateral integration.
