Regional Analysis

Trade tension between the U.S. and China and the increase in the cost of Chinese labor were already a reason why the manufacturing sector intended to move closer to home. The two years of the pandemic revealed the fragility of the global supply chain and thus became the trigger for ensuing intention. This has been propelled by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) signed in November 2021, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the CHIPS and Science Act signed in August 2022.

Canada is projected to be a hub for advanced manufacturing in North America. It is the 1^st tariff-free foreign trade zone in G20 for industrial manufacturers. The support government policy in Canada is pushing for more manufacturing activity in the country. NGen is the industry-led, non-profit organization leading Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for Advanced Manufacturing. One of five national networks supported by Canada’s ambitious Global Innovation Clusters Initiative.

Mexico is among the world’s five largest importers of AM technology. This section includes Mexican trade statistics for robotics, sensors, and associated equipment. Mexico consistently runs a trade deficit with the world in robots and sensors, totaling (USD 30 million in 2021), which means that Mexican firms interested in utilizing these technologies must depend on imports (USD 157 million in 2021). Approximately 10 percent of this total was supplied by the United States, indicating room for growth.
