Singapore's chip route to Mexico is overwhelmingly processors and controllers.
August 2026 exports to Mexico:
• ICs and IC parts: S$2.54B, roughly US$2.0B.
• Processors and controllers: S$2.45B, roughly US$1.9B.
• Memory ICs: S$25.9M, roughly US$20M.
Processors and controllers account for about 96.5% of the route's IC-and-parts export value. Memory accounts for about 1%.
Mexico's electronics manufacturing footprint includes Foxconn ($2317.TW), which said in August that its Mexico capex would keep increasing.
The useful signal here is the composition of the arriving hardware: this particular route is dominated by processors and controllers.
1/6 The memory supercycle rolls on in Korea. Memory exports reached $33.11B in August 2026. +18.2% m/m | +289.3% y/y
Up $5.10B from July and $24.60B from a year earlier.
