In the first half of this year, the industrial parks in Jalisco have experienced a remarkable surge in activity. They have attracted a total of 63 transactions, including expansions and new company arrivals. These figures, provided by the Jalisco State Industrial Parks Association (APIEJ), reveal significant growth, amounting to 355,609 square meters during this period. This achievement represents an impressive 90% of the total industrial space occupied throughout the entirety of 2020, which amounted to 394,869 square meters.

This surge in industrial activity has resulted in a substantial economic impact, contributing to a cumulative influx of $74,742,387 in terms of real estate contracts during the first half of this year. José Carlos Alemán, CEO of SiiLA, a specialized real estate data platform for Latin America, highlighted the major sectors driving this growth: electronics, logistics, and automotive transportation.
