As of the end of July 2026, Saltillo’s industrial market recorded over 200,000 square meters under construction. This figure represents a 50% year-over-year drop compared to July 2025, resulting from a slower pace of investment and an increase in supply.

Saltillo’s industrial market is distinguished by the strong presence of the automotive industry. Many companies entering the region require facilities tailored to their production processes; historically, this drove the development of build-to-suit industrial facilities and maintained high construction levels.

Demand for industrial space in the market has slowed. A slower pace of occupancy—driven by tariffs imposed by the U.S. government—has primarily affected the automotive industry, leading companies to scale back new investment projects.

In contrast, the supply of industrial space in Saltillo has increased. By the end of July 2026, vacant space exceeded 175,000 square meters, doubling the figure recorded during the same month in 2025.

Faced with this scenario, developers such as Alianza, Grupo Amistad, Davisa, and Vynmsa, among others, have completed their speculative projects with the aim of prioritizing the occupancy of existing spaces while demand recovers alongside growing certainty regarding the business environment—particularly concerning the USMCA. In doing so, they seek to be prepared to accommodate new investments once the market regains its momentum.
