description The objective of this article is to analyze the evolution of the competitiveness of the exports of the Mexican chemical industry in the United States (U.S.) and European Union (E.U.) markets, by product category, between 1994 and 2015. For this, the structural transformations occurred in the specialization patterns of its competitors in each market are taking as a reference. The hypothesis that the change in the composition of exports does not occur in a dynamic sense is confirmed, as it does not occur towards products with a growing participation in world markets, nor is it registered in favor of the manufacture and sale of goods with higher degrees of sophistication. The finding results from the application of a dynamic shift-share technique that decomposes the variations over time of the differentials between Mexico's exports and those of its main competitors into three effects (structural, competitive and interactive).

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la evolución de la competitividad de las exportaciones del sector químico mexicano en los mercados de Estados Unidos (E.U.) y la Unión Europea (U.E.), por categoría de productos, en el periodo 1994-2015. Para ello, se toman como referencia las transformaciones estructurales ocurridas en los patrones de especialización de sus competidores en cada mercado. Se confirma la hipótesis de que el cambio en la composición de las exportaciones no se da en un sentido dinámico, porque no se produce hacia los productos con una participación creciente en los mercados mundiales ni tampoco se registra en favor de la fabricación y venta de mercancías con mayores grados de sofisticación. El hallazgo resulta de la aplicación de una técnica diferencial estructural dinámica que permite descomponer las variaciones en el tiempo de los diferenciales entre las exportaciones de México y las de sus principales competidores en tres efectos (estructural, competitivo e interactivo).
