Record Vehicle Count in Mexico: 35.1 Million

Introduction

In a significant milestone for the automotive sector, Integrate Data Facts (IDF) has reported that Mexico now has a staggering 35.1 million vehicles operational as of the end of 2024. This statistic marks a record in the country, underscoring an escalating demand for automotive products and services.

Overview of the Vehicle Data

The comprehensive study conducted by IDF analyzed various models of vehicles ranging from 1961 to 2025. This research subdivided the total into several categories, which include cars, vans, SUVs, pick-ups, and medium to heavy-duty trucks. Here are the essential takeaways from the study:

• - Total Vehicles In Operation (VIO): 35.1 million
• - Light Vehicles (cars and light trucks): 34 million
• - Medium and Heavy Trucks: 1.1 million
• - Vehicle Classification Breakdown (ACES classification): 57% Cars, 34% Trucks, 6% Vans, 3% Medium and Heavy Trucks
• - Average Vehicle Age: 16.2 years (slightly up from 16.1 years in 2023)

This significant increase in the count of operational vehicles reflects broader trends and implications for the auto market in Mexico.

Implications of Vehicle Age

The rising average age of vehicles on the road has crucial implications for the automotive aftermarket. An aging fleet intensifies the need for parts, maintenance, and repairs, creating substantial opportunities for businesses catering to the Mexican auto market. As stated by Evaristo Garcia, CEO of IDF, "The average age of 16.2 years indicates that many vehicles will require regular servicing and repairs, leading to strong demand for replacement parts and automotive services, ensuring the ongoing mobility of the Mexican populace."

Even amid recent tariff changes, the existing 35.1 million vehicles rely on essential resources such as fuel, parts, maintenance services, and tires. Businesses in the automotive aftermarket must effectively cater to and support Mexico's growing automotive needs to ensure the continued advancement of the country in light of this record vehicle count.

The Role of the Aftermarket

With a staggering number of vehicles on Mexican roads, the automotive aftermarket's role cannot be underestimated. It serves as a critical backbone for the nation's transportation infrastructure. Evaristo Garcia emphasized the importance of this sector by stating, "With 35.1 million vehicles in circulation, the automotive aftermarket is pivotal in assisting Mexico's development."

This growth not only supports the automotive industry but also plays a significant role in the broader economic landscape.
