Mexico Lithium-Ion Battery Market

Mexico Lithium-Ion Battery Market Overview:

The Mexico lithium-ion battery market size reached USD 777.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2,663.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising electric vehicle adoption, growth in renewable energy storage, expanding electronics manufacturing, and government support for sustainable mobility. Strategic location near the U.S., growing lithium exploration activity, and increasing industrial electrification also contribute to demand for advanced battery technologies.

Mexico Lithium-Ion Battery Market Trends:

Emergence of Local Lithium Refining and Battery Manufacturing Initiatives

In response to the increasing strategic importance of lithium, Mexico is seeing early-stage development of domestic refining and battery manufacturing infrastructure. Projects in Sonora and other northern states are exploring lithium extraction and processing, aiming to establish a vertically integrated supply chain. Government-backed efforts, including the creation of state-owned company LitioMX, reflect the national agenda to secure and capitalize on lithium resources for domestic value creation. These initiatives are expected to reduce import reliance and attract international partnerships for technology transfer and investment. Although currently limited in output, these steps signal the country’s intent to become a regional player in battery materials and production. This trend could accelerate industrial participation and job creation in battery manufacturing clusters over the coming years. For instance, Cenntro Automotive México, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Cenntro Electric Group, committed USD 200 Million over a three-year period through 2026 to set up a lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant in Nuevo León. The 10,436-square-meter facility was scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2023. This investment aligns with Cenntro’s efforts to grow its electric vehicle distribution network in Mexico, focusing on government and commercial fleet segments.

Supply Chain Localization Driven by USMCA and Nearshoring

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is influencing automakers and battery suppliers to localize lithium-ion battery production within North America. Mexico, with its strong automotive base, is benefiting from this shift through increased investment in battery pack assembly, module integration, and related logistics. Nearshoring strategies aim to mitigate risks associated with long supply chains and global disruptions, while also meeting regional content requirements for EV incentives. Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers are setting up operations in key industrial corridors such as Nuevo León and Guanajuato, often in proximity to major OEMs. This trend supports technology transfer, employment, and supply chain resilience, positioning Mexico as a competitive node in the North American battery ecosystem. For instance, in July 2024, Mexico and Buenos Aires signed a cooperation agreement to advance lithium value chain technologies through joint research. The deal, involving Litio para México (LitioMx) and Buenos Aires' CIC, focuses on lithium extraction from clay and aims to strengthen local capabilities. Supported by CAF and academic institutions like CONICET and Universidad Nacional de La Plata, the initiative includes developing a Renewable Energy Research Center.
