One of the risks to which all companies are exposed, regardless of their business and size, is armed robbery. Unfortunately, this is one of the main criminal acts that threaten businesses in Mexico, especially those that are located at street level in an establishment, putting customers, collaborators, and business owners at risk.
From January to May 2022, the states that registered the highest crime rate of business robbery were: The State of Mexico (8,722 cases), Mexico City (4,581 cases), Jalisco (2,317 cases), Baja California (2,137 cases), Veracruz (1,980), Guanajuato (1,898 cases), and Puebla (1,849 cases).
Among the most affected businesses are in Ecatepec, Puebla, Tijuana, Mexicali, Querétaro and Guadalajara, according to data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP).
Meanwhile, during 2021, one in four economic units (around 1.2 million companies) were victims of some crime, including armed robbery. The crime generated an average cost of 56,936 pesos each for the affected businesses, according to the 2022 National Survey of Business Victimization (ENVE) conducted by the Inegi.
