Mexican exports to the U.S. increased by 5.6% year-on-year, bouncing back from April’s decline.

In May, Mexican exports to the United States increased by 5.6% year-over-year, marking a recovery after a dip in April caused by uncertainty surrounding new and threatened tariffs. The rebound followed efforts from Mexican authorities to negotiate tariff terms and stabilize investor confidence. Despite challenges, Mexico remains the U.S.’s top trade partner, with trade between the two nations amounting to US$74.5 billion in May, contributing 16.2% of U.S. global trade.

The recovery was particularly driven by the border state of Chihuahua, which led exports and was a key player in Mexico’s overall 3.6% export growth in the first quarter of 2025. Despite ongoing tariff concerns, Mexico’s economic resilience is evident, with states like Yucatán and Colima showing significant increases in export value.
