La globalización de mercados y la producción genera una conexión cada vez más estrecha entre naciones. La distancia deja de ser un problema en el comercio exterior, sin embargo, las estrategias para facilitar no solo el flujo de mercancías sino también de información se ha convertido en un reto para las empresas. El Indice de Desempeño Logístico (IDL) del reporte Connecting to Compete elaborado por el Banco Mundial a partir de 2007, se convierte en herramienta de análisis para los países. Los seis indicadores logísticos evaluados a más de 160 países demuestran fortalezas y oportunidades que enfrentan los países para ser más competitivos en la economía global. Por lo tanto, el objetivo general de esta investigación es describir la importancia del desempeño logístico de México en el comercio exterior. Se analizaron los resultados del IDL del 2012 al 2016 y se realizaron cinco entrevistas a expertos en la disciplina en México. Aduanas e infraestructura son las tareas más importantes para mejorar el desempeño logístico mexicano con el apoyo de los sectores público y privado. Se concluye que el futuro del comercio exterior en México dependerá de una eficiente cadena de suministro sostenible en tres pilares: medio ambiente, capital humano y tecnología.
