Mexico’s Infrastructure Opportunities 2013-2018

Mexico: Building a World-Class Infrastructure

While Mexico has matured as the #1 global manufacturing hub offering world-class facilities, Mexico’s government is focused on improving its infrastructure in many fronts. Transportation routes will continue to improve as Mexico invests heavily in new container ports and the modernization of airports and railroads. Many infrastructure opportunities exist in Mexico, primarily in power and road networks. Consumption of natural gas and electricity is forecast to increase thus allowing for opportunities to build infrastructure such as pipelines, power generation and transmission grids. Vehicle sales are also forecast to increase, consequently raising demand for road net-works. President Enrique Peña Nieto, will boost investment in infrastructure projects and will soon announce the 2013-2018 National Infrastructure Program (NIP), designed to address current transport bottlenecks.
