Bajío accounted for 25.3% of Mexico’s coatings market in 2025
The Bajío region accounted for 25.3% of Mexico’s paints and coatings market in 2025.
The manufacturing corridor, led by Guanajuato and Querétaro, supplies industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics and metalworking.
These industries need coatings and surface treatments that protect components and improve how they perform.
The region’s coatings market is projected to grow about 5.6% a year through 2031, as manufacturers seek more specialised products.
That growth will require more technical training, innovation and modern production equipment.
Querétaro’s auto-parts production rose 11.2% year on year from January to July, reaching $5.999 billion and making the state Mexico’s fifth-largest producer.
Industry representatives will hold technical training and an exhibition in Querétaro on November 24 and 25, 2026, as they look to expand into sectors such as aerospace, medical equipment and advanced manufacturing.
