The first-ever Expo Nacional Ferretera Mexico City, held recently at the renowned Centro Citibanamex, achieved impressive results, significantly surpassing initial projections.
According to official figures reported by the Mexico City Economic Development Secretariat (SecretarÃÂa de Desarrollo Económico), the three-day event welcomed more than 12,000 industry professionals, far exceeding the organizers’ original estimate of around 5,000 visitors.
Organized by RX Mexico, Expo Nacional Ferretera Mexico City 2025 established itself immediately as a pivotal event for Mexico’s hardware and construction industry. It attracted over 180 exhibitors, generating an impressive 55,000 qualified business leads.
According to the official Lead Manager application data provided by RX Mexico, exhibitors averaged approximately 290 leads each, positioning this event as the third most important in RX Mexico’s entire portfolio, behind only Expo Nacional Ferretera Guadalajara and Expo Seguridad México.
Significantly, the event proved the strong demand for a dedicated hardware industry exhibition in the nation’s capital.
Official statistics indicate that 9 out of 10 attendees had never previously participated in Expo Ferretera Guadalajara, the longstanding flagship event.
Moreover, around 75% of the audience originated from Mexico City and the State of Mexico, underscoring the region’s dynamic and growing economic potential.
Strong Government Support and Industry ParticipationThe expo was actively supported by local and federal government agencies, notably the Ministry of Economy (SecretarÃÂa de EconomÃÂa), emphasizing its importance in driving economic activity and innovation in Mexico’s industrial sectors.
The government’s proactive role aligns with Mexico City’s strategic vision to position itself as a regional hub for trade exhibitions and business events.

Additional panels addressed critical industry topics including construction innovations, digital transformation in hardware stores, sustainability practices in manufacturing, and effective B2B digital sales strategies.
