Why All The Nearshoring Buzz?

在全球紧张局势和经济不确定性高涨的情况下,墨西哥的近岸业务最近占据了新闻头条,这是有充分理由的, many U.S. 企业正在寻找机会,以避免可能影响其运营和底线的潜在供应链中断.

So 远, 在墨西哥近岸似乎是一个成功的策略, 它越来越受欢迎的早期影响已经成为人们关注的焦点.

Earlier this year, The New York Times reported that U.S. 自2019年以来,墨西哥商品进口增长了四分之一以上. 墨西哥还向美国出口了价值3820亿美元的商品.S. 在2022年的前10个月,同比增长超过20%.

U.S. and international investors are also spending more in Mexico than ever, 该国的装配厂部门预计到2023年将获得高达180亿美元的注资,而2022年为110亿美元.

围绕近岸业务的所有喧嚣和商业潜力都回避了一个问题:繁荣真的才刚刚开始吗, or has it been brewing for some time?

How We Got Here

要回答这个问题,首先要了解离岸外包的历史. 这种做法在20世纪70年代末开始流行.S. 企业开始将生产外包到印度和中国,以降低成本和提高利润率.

For decades, 这些国家提供了大量负担得起的劳动力和坚实的港口基础设施,帮助保持了足够低的航运成本,使生产商品并将其运往美国相当有利可图.S. businesses.

The Rise The Nearshoring

然而,今天中国和印度的条件已经不像以前那么有利了. 在2018年与中国发生贸易争端之后, the COVID-19 pandemic, 以及近年来其他几起重大的供应链中断事件, U.S. 企业一直在转向近岸生产,以缩短产品生产产地与最终分销目的地之间的距离.

随着对生产设施和交叉运输基础设施的投资增加, 除了减轻与中断相关的风险外,墨西哥近岸为托运人提供了几个优势:

  • Lower freight and insurance costs: 由于运输方式的限制和运输成本的上升,将货物运输到美国.S. 与亚洲相比,从墨西哥进口的成本效益要高得多.
  • Shorter lead time and more flexibility: 更短的交货时间意味着货物到达最终用户的速度大大加快, which is critical in today’s customer-first, on-demand market. At best, transit times from China to the U.S. range from 20 days to six weeks, whereas running a load from Monterrey, Mexico, to Detroit, Michigan, takes just four days or less.
  • Lower labor costs: Preliminary data from consulting firm ECA International showed that the wage gap between the U.S. 中国在2022年继续关闭,并可能在2023年进一步收缩. Meanwhile, last year’s average monthly manufacturing wage 墨西哥是480美元,而中国是840美元.
  • Policy incentives: The USMCA, which incentivizes North American manufacturing, especially in the automotive sector, 以及拜登政府要求增加国内生产和加强与盟国合作的行政命令,都在立法上加强了北美贸易的重要性.
  • Crisis response: 如果工厂在同一时区内运营,而且只有很短的飞行距离,那么管理生产就容易得多. 所以无论是工厂的小问题还是严重的供应链中断, the proximity nearshoring offers is priceless.

What’s Next For Nearshoring?

很难预测近岸的繁荣会有多大,也很难预测墨西哥是否会成为与中国和印度比肩的制造业超级大国. But given the growing list of benefits for U.S. businesses and businesses that want to serve the U.S. 市场上,似乎可以肯定,这只是近岸运动的开始.
