San Luis Potosí is positioned as one of the main industrial markets in the Bajío region; however, in recent months, the sector's activity has shown a slowdown in the pace of investment. As of the end of May 2026, the Potosí market registered an 18% contraction in the start of new construction projects, compared to the same period in 2025.

The decrease in the start of new industrial projects is explained by the increase in the vacancy rate, which stood at 5.7% at the end of May 2026, reflecting greater availability of space and contributing to a slower pace in the development of new projects.

During the month of May, only two industrial projects were initiated in the San Luis Potosí market, totaling just over 18,000 square meters. The new construction is concentrated along the San Luis Potosí–Río Verde and San Luis Potosí–Villa de Arriaga highway submarkets..

The evolution of occupancy levels in the country's industrial sector, in an environment marked by constant changes in international trade, has resulted in less dynamic demand. In addition, developers have opted for more conservative development processes, prioritizing the leasing of available spaces before starting new construction.

Despite the changes in the pace of investment, the San Luis Potosí industrial market remains stable and is expected to continue growing in the coming months, albeit at a more moderate rate.
