I believe Covid has kinda helped speed up this process. From what I understand, Mexico is becoming a manufacturing hub and even Chinese companies see the writing on the wall and are setting up factories there to keep a piece of the pie.

Keep your eyes on your products, you will likely see a lot of made in mexico labels incoming.
