Industrial activity in Tamaulipas continues to show outstanding performance at the national level. According to the Monthly Indicator of Industrial Activity by State (IMAIEF), published by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the state registered annual growth of 7.8% during August 2025, ranking third nationally.
This result confirms the strength of Tamaulipas’ industrial sector and reflects a favorable environment for investment, productive development, and job creation.
Mining and construction lead the economic rebound in Tamaulipas.
The state’s Secretary of Economy, Ninfa Cantú Deándar, indicated that the observed growth is the result of a combination of factors, including an increase in manufacturing orders from international markets, the expansion of companies already established in the state, and the launch of new investment projects.
“Industry is one of the fundamental pillars of Tamaulipas’ economy. This growth is not by chance, but rather the result of coordinated work between the state government and the productive sector, aimed at generating confidence, attracting investment, and supporting companies in their growth process,” the official stated.
According to the INEGI report, the sectors that showed the greatest dynamism were mining and construction. Mining activity registered an annual growth of 50.2%, while construction showed an increase of 18.2%, figures that significantly boosted the overall performance of the industrial sector in the state.
Location and logistics consolidate Tamaulipas as an industrial hub.
Cantú Deándar emphasized that one of the central pillars of the economic policy promoted by Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya is the strengthening of industry in all of the state’s productive regions.
This approach seeks to enhance the competitiveness of local businesses, facilitate their expansion, and promote balanced economic development that benefits both urban areas and regions with emerging industrial potential.
Furthermore, it was emphasized that a significant portion of the confirmed investment projects in Tamaulipas are directly linked to industrial activity. Among the strategic sectors attracting these investments are:
Automotive
Electrical and electronics
Chemical and petrochemical
Aerospace
Logistics
Medical
Semiconductors
Food sector
Tamaulipas’ geographic location, its logistics infrastructure, and its connectivity to major national and international markets have been key factors in attracting new investments and consolidating the state as a competitive industrial hub.
Added to this is the institutional support provided by the state government to streamline procedures, strengthen production chains, and promote the development of specialized talent. As a result, Tamaulipas has climbed to the top three nationally for industrial growth.
