Between 2020 and 2024, the total value of U.S. goods imports expanded from $2.36 trillion to $3.31 trillion, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. This surge not only underscores the post-pandemic rebound and sustained consumer demand, but also masks significant structural shifts in sourcing—most notably the realignment away from China and the growing strategic role of Mexico and other nearshore partners in the U.S. supply chain. As volumes grow, so does the importance of origin diversification under evolving tariff frameworks and regional trade dynamics
Between 2020 and 2024, Mexico's share of U.S. imports surged from 13.7 % to 15.3 %, overtaking China as the second-largest source. China’s share, meanwhile, dropped sharply from 18.4 % to 13.3 %, reflecting intensified trade barriers and risk‑off behavior among U.S. buyers.
Nearshoring isn’t just narrative—it’s numerically visible. Mexico gained more than any other country in share terms, amid reshoring urgency and regulatory certainty under USMCA.
