Nearshoring to Mexico: Why More U.S. Companies Are Making the Move in 2025

Nearshoring to Mexico is on the rise in 2025. Learn why companies are shifting production closer to the U.S.—and how RCS Freight Services makes it easier.

Nearshoring has moved from trend to strategy in 2025.

With ongoing supply chain disruptions, rising global shipping costs, and increased demand for faster turnaround, more U.S. businesses are shifting production and suppliers closer to home—especially to Mexico.

Why Mexico is leading the nearshoring shift:

  • Shared border with the U.S. allows for faster freight delivery and lower transportation costs.
  • Skilled labor at competitive rates provides a balance of quality and efficiency.
  • Updated trade agreements like the USMCA make cross-border commerce smoother and more predictable.
  • Infrastructure improvements at major border crossings have reduced congestion and improved transit times.

Industries seeing major benefits from nearshoring to Mexico:

  • Automotive manufacturing
  • Industrial equipment and parts
  • Retail and consumer goods
  • Agricultural and food logistics

How RCS Freight Services supports nearshoring efforts:

  • Established routes and carrier networks between key U.S. and Mexican manufacturing hubs
  • Bilingual teams to coordinate customs and delivery seamlessly
