摘要
本論文為墨西哥汽車市場概況之探討，特別針對11間墨西哥現行活躍之原始設備製造商和40間最大之一、二級供應商做分析；也探討當前市場概況、整體環境和產業未來趨勢。

從介紹一學術框架（CAGE）為開端，本論文架構將依此框架為基礎。後續為資料蒐集方法之說明，也針對研究中所面臨之挑戰及蒐集到之最有效益資料做描述。本章節亦說明用於預測和估計之潛在假設。

在蒐集方法後為數據樣本說明：第一組數據是產線及其聯絡方式，提供在各公司生產之零件清單和各公司的聯繫方式；第二組數據是原始設備製造商和下級廠商組合，說明原始設備製造商及其各自供應商之間的關係；第三組數據說明汽車產業群集；最後一組數據為產業投資資料表。除另外註記，此章節中的資料皆針對墨西哥市場。

下一章節是墨西哥經濟的總體概述，並更深入探討其汽車產業。製造成本、採購市場及對外貿易議題皆被納入探討。接著為墨西哥汽車製造產業群集分析，每個群集由其地理位置、在該區活躍之公司及其生產的零件來分類。之中最重要或顯著之群集也被提及。

群集解析後為金融投資， 墨西哥11間原始設備製造商之近期計畫或已執行的金融投資皆以數據圖表在此章節做說明。論文最後歸納出三個目前在墨西哥汽車零件市場的主要趨勢。

Abstract
This report provides an overview of the Mexican automotive market. In particular, it analyzes the 11main OEMs active in Mexico and 40 of the largest Tier 1 & 2 suppliers. It also analyzes the context of the market, including the current environment and future trends.

The report opens with a brief introduction followed by an explanation of the academic framework (CAGE) that the analysis is loosely based on. Next is an explanation of the methodology used to gather the report information. The methodology describes some of the challenges faced during the research phase, as well as the most useful sources of information. This section also outlines any underlying assumptions used for predictions and estimations.

Following the methodology is an explanation of a data sample. The first data set is the Production & Contact Information, which provides a list of the parts produced at each of the companies’ facilities and its contact information. The second data set is the OEM & Tier Combination, which maps the connections between the OEMs and their respective suppliers. The third data set outlines the automotive clusters, and the final set provides a table of industry investments. Unless otherwise stated, all of the information in this section is specific to the Mexican market.

Next is a general overview of Mexico’s economy, then a more in-depth discussion of its automotive sector. Some of the topics discussed are manufacturing costs, procurement market, and foreign trade. Following this is an analysis of the automotive manufacturing clusters in Mexico. Each cluster is identified by its geographical locations, the companies active in it, and the parts produced in it. The most important or significant cluster are also mentioned.

After the clusters comes a section on financial investments. Each of the 11 OEMs is profiled with a list of any planned or recent financial investments in Mexico. The report concludes by highlighting three of the major current trends in the Mexican Automotive Parts industry.
