Mexican car sector faces restructuring and Chinese competition

Mexico’s auto industry is going through a phase of restructuring: suppliers and manufacturers are trying to protect margins and output in a market made more competitive by the arrival of Chinese brands. For Europe, including Italy, this is a warning sign of how global competition is shifting the balance.

With labor costs, supply chains to rethink and new industrial strategies, the country remains central to North America, but it will need faster efficiency gains and investment to avoid losing ground.
