Chiapas in the national context

Economy

  • Strenght at secondary activities.
  • Retail trade accounts the most productive activity. 
  • Manufacturing is 17.7% of economy by income.
  • E-Commerce for manufacturing is 22,3%.

This suggests that a significant portion of the state's economic activity is centered around the buying and selling of goods and services, often at a small scale. Retail trade, while essential, typically generates lower income and may not provide high-wage employment opportunities or stimulate substantial economic growth compared to other sectors like manufacturing or technology. The fact that retail dominates the economic landscape in a relatively impoverished state could indicate a need for diversification and strategies to promote higher-value industries to improve living standards and economic stability in the region.
