The semiconductor industry and its economic, political, and social impact in Mexico

Abstract

Mexico has a limited participation in the global semiconductor value chain, which restricts its technological and economic development, despite having favorable strategic conditions. This problem, characterized by the interaction of industrial, educational, political and economic factors, requires a systemic approach to understand its complexity and identify integrated and sustainable solutions. The fundamental reason for the study is to explore the opportunities and challenges for the development of the semiconductor industry in Mexico, with an emphasis on its economic, political, and social impact, as well as its installed capacities, value chain, and the strategies needed to strengthen its participation in the international context.

The present study uses documentary and analytical research methodology. The general approach is descriptive and explanatory, with the objective of analyzing the impact of the semiconductor industry on the Mexican economy through the study of macroeconomic, historical and technological indicators.

The results are to explore the opportunities and challenges that Mexico faces in its consolidation process as a key player in the global semiconductor industry.

Propose strategic lines of action aimed at strengthening the national semiconductor ecosystem, through effective articulation between the governmental, industrial, and academic sectors.

Develop specialized talent in technology, increase the competitiveness of Mexican companies through knowledge transfer and promote global training programs in the semiconductor value chain.
