Naucalpan: The Industrial Submarket Redefining Mexico's Economic Landscape with a Surge in Exports

  • Discover why Naucalpan is a growing industrial hub. With exports skyrocketing by 848% in 2022, reaching $6.55 billion, this area has become a magnet for investors and major corporations.

Naucalpan is one of the most important industrial submarkets in the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico. Strategically located on the border between the State of Mexico and Mexico City, it stands out as a hub for business development, logistics, and industrial innovation, offering a solid platform for expansion and economic growth. As a clear sign of its industrial growth, in 2022, Naucalpan's international sales (exports and commercial transactions in foreign markets) reached $6.55 billion, an 848% increase from the previous year, according to the most recent data from the Mexican Economy Secretariat.

The industrial zone of Naucalpan, which exceeds 85,000 square meters, has experienced moderate and sustained growth with little new inventory added in the last four years, which has driven market prices up (to an average of nearly $11 per square meter) and reduced the vacancy rate below 8%. This market landscape evidences an attractive investment potential, particularly for those investors focused on top-tier assets in an area where opportunities for new developments have been exclusive.

A distinctive aspect of Naucalpan is its ability to attract companies from strategic sectors for the national economy, such as consumer products, food, business services, energy, and technology and information, representing almost 80% of the region's industrial gross leasable area (GLA). Likewise, the combination of national firms (66% of GLA) and international firms (34% of GLA) underscores the versatility and dynamism of the submarket, highlighting its relevance to the economic fabric, as it acts as a catalyst for sustainable development and integration into global markets.

Naucalpan's ability to attract major companies such as Carlsberg, Grupo Bimbo, and Mabe is reflected in industrial properties with unique characteristics at a national level, including the Litos - Negra Modelo warehouse. This Class A property with over 3,000 square meters and LEED certification features a ceiling height of 20 meters, doubling the national average. This height offers significant advantages for industrial and logistics operations, allowing for greater vertical storage, better air circulation, and increased large machinery and equipment capacity. Additionally, this feature positions it as a benchmark for efficiency and productivity in the Mexican industrial sector.
