France and Mexico: a partnership with plenty of room to grow
October 13, 2026 | Victoria RUEDA
The Regional Economic Department in Mexico City (French Treasury) has just published the fourth edition of its France-Mexico economic report, which focuses on the presence of French companies in the country.
Its key findings:
- nearly 700 French companies operate in Mexico;
- they generate 215,000 direct jobs and more than 750,000 indirect jobs;
- they are active in strategic sectors, including aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, energy, agri-food, manufacturing and technology.
The relationship between the two countries therefore goes well beyond trade figures: it reflects real opportunities for investment, expansion and long-term collaboration.
For French businesses considering Mexico, understanding the local legal and regulatory landscape is essential to getting it right from day one.
