By Zoila Palma: Taiwan is strengthening its trade and investment relationship with Mexico as growing demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure drives increased production of semiconductors, servers, computing equipment and electronics.
More than 300 Taiwanese companies already operate in Mexico, creating over 70,000 direct jobs, while the country’s proximity to the United States and access to the North American market are attracting additional technology investment.
Taiwan was Mexico’s third-largest trading partner in 2025, surpassing countries including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany and Japan, Mexico Business news reports.
During the first quarter of 2026, imports associated with Taiwan reached US$43.92 billion, compared with US$65.76 billion from China and US$130.46 billion from the United States, according to Banco de México data.
Taipei Economic and Cultural Office Director Violeta Shao-Hui Hsu said Taiwan could potentially become Mexico’s second-largest trading partner if the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) remains in place.
The growing relationship is being fueled by the global AI boom, which is increasing demand for servers, integrated circuits and other computing equipment. Taiwanese companies can import components into Mexico, carry out manufacturing processes there and export finished products to the United States, linking Taiwan’s technology expertise with Mexico’s manufacturing base and geographic proximity to the US market.
At least eight Taiwanese technology companies have established or expanded operations in Mexico over the past two years, according to AccessBridge.
Mexico’s technology export sector has also recorded significant growth.
However, Mexico’s manufacturing capacity is becoming a challenge as AI-related demand continues to rise. Factory utilization in the computing subsector reached 99.5 percent in 2025, while foreign direct investment in the sector stood at US$631 million.
With US data center investment reaching US$102.2 billion in 2025, Taiwanese officials and business leaders expect demand for servers, chips and specialized computing equipment to remain strong.
