In recent years, nearshoring—relocating factories and operations closer to target markets—has gained considerable momentum in global logistics. This trend is reshaping how companies manage their supply chains, especially in regions like Latin America, where intraregional trade is experiencing notable growth.

Key Impacts of Nearshoring on Logistics

• Reduced Delivery Times: One of nearshoring’s main advantages is significantly shorter delivery times. In industries like automotive and electronics, where product life cycles are short, companies can adapt more swiftly to market demands.
• Increased Supply Chain Flexibility: Proximity to markets allows for greater agility, enabling companies to adjust production and shipments more efficiently in response to demand changes.
• Lower Dependence on Maritime Routes: With factories closer to borders, there’s less need for long maritime routes, reducing associated risks like port blockages or delays. This has led to a 15% rise in the use of land and air routes.
• Regional Trade Growth: In Latin America, nearshoring has driven a 10% increase in intraregional exports, strengthening both logistics and local economies.
