During the first half of 2025, Queretaro reaffirmed its position as one of the most dynamic industrial markets in the country, attracting $95.7 million in automotive investment. According to data from the Automotive Directory, 11 projects were completed, generating more than 1,170 direct jobs and expanding industrial infrastructure by over 219,000 square meters. 

These figures represent 4.1% of the total national automotive investment, surpassing even states with higher investment volumes. This performance not only reflects investors’ confidence in the state but also highlights its ability to offer solid industrial infrastructure, skilled talent, and a strategic location that supports integration with global supply chains. 

Querétaro also stands out for its focus on high value-added sectors and its ability to adapt to new industry trends such as electromobility and advanced manufacturing. In this regard, it has successfully attracted projects aligned with USMCA requirements and the evolving demands of a constantly transforming global industry. 

While it may not lead national rankings in terms of total capital attracted, Querétaro’s diversification, number of projects, and emphasis on strategic sectors make it a key player in the next phase of Mexico’s industrial growth.
