美国产业链" 近岸 化"的实际进展——贸易表现的改善幅度大于其投资、生产。 从贸易角度来看，美国产业链的"近岸化"已发生，但只集中在墨西哥。墨西 哥的FDI投资有明显增长，但是没有企业"公告"的绿地投资规模增长幅度大。而且，自2024年以来，受国内政治不确定性影响，墨西哥企业的投资有明显放 缓。更重要的是，相较于墨西哥的出口增长，其制造业生产并未展现出强劲增长的势头。相比2019年，2025年5月墨西哥出口量增长18%，但其同期的工业 生产量仅增长7%，落后于其他新兴经济体。 展望未来，墨西哥作为"近岸外包"的优势仍在，但局限性也很明显。 墨西哥作为美国近岸外包的地理优势、人力成本优势及关税优势依然存在。但墨西哥自 身的经济体量决定着其能承接的产业链规模有限。同时，墨西哥的制造能力能否进一步提升可能有赖于美墨产业规划能否相互协调、墨西哥能否从外部获得 足够的资本补充提升其基建水平。而当前墨西哥自身政治的不确定性，正导致其对部分（尤其是美国）资本的吸引力下降。 往后看，墨西哥"近岸外包"是否会再次加速？2026年《美墨加协定》的审查谈判是一个重要的观察点。 一方面，如前所述，墨西哥当前的司法改革有可能扰 动美国 ...
