Prediction

As the fragmentation of trade agreements and escalating tariffs reshape supply chains and international commerce in Mexico, the impact is twofold. On the one hand, nearshoring and its strategic integration into US supply chains present growth opportunities for coverage in transport, marine, infrastructure and liability lines. On the other, Mexico faces vulnerabilities from tariff wars and divergent standards between trading blocs, pressuring exporters and manufacturers. Insurers must prepare for more complex claims scenarios, particularly where contractual liability and cross-border disputes intersect. For insurers and reinsurers, these disruptions and relocation of production and logistics might amplify risks linked to trade credit, political violence, and business interruption.
