According to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Mexico received $337.9 billion in goods from the United States in 2025, accounting for 15.5% of total U.S. exports. This figure marks a significant milestone as it surpassed Canada, which received $336.5 billion, or 15.4% of overall exports. This shift highlights the strong trading relationship between the U.S. and Mexico, and indicates a growing reliance on Mexico for U.S. exports.

The Mexican Business Coordinating Council, a major private sector organization, noted this was the first time on an annual basis that more American exports went to Mexico than Canada. This development reflects broader economic trends and the importance of Mexico as a key player in the North American trade landscape. U.S. Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard also highlighted these figures on social media, emphasizing their significance in showcasing the robust commercial ties between the two nations.

Ebrard's announcements underline that Mexico is now the primary destination for 25% of U.S. industrial sectors, which speaks to the diversification and strength of trade relations. As these economic dynamics evolve, they suggest that Mexico's role in the U.S. trade network will continue to grow, potentially reshaping the future of North American trade, especially in the context of previous discussions regarding tariffs and trade agreements during Donald Trump's presidency.
