Fast fashion e-retailer Shein is seeking warehouse space in Mexico as it seeks to expand its footprint in Latin America, according to a Reuters news report.

The Singapore-domiciled Chinese company is also looking to grow its manufacturing operations in Brazil and Mexico.

Shein is scouting for at least 35,000 sqm of warehouse space in an industrial area north of Mexico City, unnamed sources told Reuters.

The company could possibly partner with a logistics provider in a space double that size, which would make the warehouse almost as large as those of Amazon and MercadoLibre in the same area.

"We continue to explore nearshoring options and the expansion of our Shein Marketplace model in Mexico," a company spokesperson says in the report.

In a statement on its website, Shein confirms it will launch an integrated marketplace in Mexico, offering products from third-party sellers as well as the company’s own products.

“Launches in Germany, Spain, France and Italy will soon follow suit,” the statement says.

“In addition to these third-party sellers, Shein Marketplace has also onboarded renowned global brands like Skechers, a leading footwear company known for its innovative designs, and Lansinoh, a trusted name in maternal care products in various markets.”
