Taiwanese contract manufacturers like Wistron and Pegatron are using Mexico as a nearshoring hub to sidestep US-China trade tensions and tariffs, turning the country into a $46.9B annual supplier. This move locks in geographic diversification for US data center operators while embedding Taiwan's manufacturing expertise across North America, reducing single-country dependency risks but creating new vulnerabilities around Mexican production capacity and political stability. Geopolitical pressure is relocating supply and creating regional manufacturing clusters that give US companies optionality but require deeper investment in Mexico's infrastructure and labor ecosystems.
