What the numbers show

New Mexico’s 244,429 companies place it 40th nationally, 0.4% of the U.S. total. Activity clusters in its largest metros — Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces alone account for 56.7% of the state’s companies — while industrial & mechanical is the dominant sector at 26.1%. For buyers and sellers, that means the deepest pools of suppliers and manufacturers sit in a handful of cities and one or two sectors; the charts above link straight into each so you can shortlist by capability and region.
