en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mexico's Ministry of Economy has revealed that the adoption of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing sector has driven a quantifiable return of 18.8%. This study, titled "Smart Mexico: Manufacturing Faces an Unmissable Opportunity," was conducted by the Mexico Digital Center (Centro México Digital) based on data from the 2024 Economic Census by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). Manufacturing is a pillar of Mexico's economy, contributing 20% of the GDP and 90% of exports, yet the application of AI in this sector remains in its early stages.

Research data indicates that companies adopting AI have seen an 18.8% increase in total production, along with a 5.4% wage premium per worker and a 3.3% rise in employment per economic unit. Salma Jalife, President of the Mexico Digital Center, stated that the adoption of AI is linked to higher production levels and better wages, requiring joint action from government, industry, academia, and civil society to drive Mexico's transformation toward a knowledge-intensive manufacturing sector. Despite quantifiable benefits, the current state of industry adoption remains lagging. Currently, only 4.8% of manufacturing companies with more than 10 employees use AI, a rate lower than the average for other economic sectors within Mexico and far below the 19.1% recorded by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). To accelerate this transformation, the report proposes 10 specific actions covering three major areas: strategy and resources, digital infrastructure, and talent training, aiming to integrate Mexico into the global high-tech industrial chain.
