According to the 2018 Logistic Performance Index (LPI), Mexico is in 51st position out of 160 countries, with ample room for improvement and opportunities in this area. According to the report of the Spanish Observatory of Logistics and Transport, “the economic weight of the logistics sector in 2014 represented 3.1% of GDP, maintaining its relative contribution in a stable manner in the period analysed (2008-2014).
