Mexican auto production decreases 2.7% in January 2026
OEMs built 303,980 light vehicles in Mexico in January 2026, resulting in a 2.7% decrease compared to the 312,257 units built in the same month of 2025, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
OEMs with production increases in January included VW with an increase of 66.4% to 34,580 units; GM with an increase of 22.2% to 72,052 units; Audi with an increase of 15.2% to 11,067 units; Acura with an increase of 13.7% to 2,544 units; Chrysler with an increase of 9.4% to 24,744 units; Ford with an increase of 8.3% to 35,292 units; Kia with an increase of 5.3% to 25,600 units; and Honda with an increase of 2.4% to 16,027 units.
OEMs whose production declined in January compared to the previous year are JAC with a decrease of 53.2% to 1,475 units; Mazda with a decrease of 43.9% to 11,362 units; Toyota with a decrease of 43.1% to 15,081 units; Nissan with a decrease of 31.1% to 42,115 units; BMW Group with a decrease of 23.2% to 7,461 units; and Mercedes with a decrease of 4.6% to 4,580 units.
One of the reasons for the decrease in production is the deacceleration of U.S. market, where most of the exports of vehicles manufactured withing the country are sent to. “There is still concern in the United States about the increase in non-payments on auto loans, which exceed 5% and are considered a limiting factor in demand,” said Guillermo Rosales, the executive president of the Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA), at a press conference dated on 11 February. The automotive industry is bracing for a year of intensifying trade uncertainty in 2026. This is driven by the upcoming USMCA 'Joint Review' on July, alongside the U.S. midterm elections in November, both of which are expected to significantly impact future trade policies and tariff structures.
