Abstract

México se ha posicionado como uno de los principales productores y exportadores de vehículos a nivel mundial. Con la entrada en vigor del T-MEC, se espera un aumento en el contenido regional norteamericano en la industria automotriz, lo que representa una oportunidad para impulsar la transferencia de tecnología y el desarrollo de capacidades locales. La industria automotriz y de autopartes (IAA) en México muestra patrones de concentración espacial, generando economías de aglomeración vinculadas a externalidades de conocimiento, trabajadores especializados, insumos locales y economías de urbanización. Sin embargo, existen pocos estudios que analicen estas fuerzas con alto nivel de detalle territorial, especialmente en relación con empresas chinas en el sector. Este trabajo examina la presencia de economías de aglomeración en la IAA en nueve micro-regiones mexicanas, donde operan 13 empresas chinas. A través de mapas de densidad kernel e índices de autocorrelación global y local, se verifica su impacto local y regional. Los resultados evidencian economías de aglomeración en cinco regiones, con una tendencia creciente.
