Emerging players

• Grupo IUSA: Grupo IUSA is a Mexican holding company with operations in real estate, energy, and electronics. Comparable to Grupo DICAS as a privately controlled diversified Mexican conglomerate with infrastructure and energy-adjacent interests.
• Grupo Industrial Saltillo (GIS): GIS is a publicly listed Mexican industrial conglomerate in automotive components, construction, and housing. Comparable to Grupo DICAS for its multi-sector Mexican industrial footprint and automotive sector exposure.
• Grupo Hermes Infraestructura: Grupo Hermes is a Mexican holding group with infrastructure, real estate, and energy interests. Comparable to Grupo DICAS for its smaller-scale diversified Mexican regional infrastructure and real estate holdings.

Broad incumbents

• Grupo Elektra: Grupo Elektra is a diversified Mexican group spanning financial services, retail, and consumer products. It is comparable as a private Mexican multi-division conglomerate with a regional branch/retail footprint across multiple cities.
• Grupo ALFA: Grupo ALFA is a large Mexican industrial conglomerate with operations across multiple sectors. While significantly larger and more diversified than Grupo DICAS, it serves as a benchmark for diversified Mexican holding structures operating in non-financial industries.
• Grupo Carso: Grupo Carso is a Carlos Slim-controlled Mexican conglomerate spanning retail, industrial, infrastructure, and energy. Comparable to Grupo DICAS as a multi-sector Mexican holding with infrastructure exposure, though operating at much larger scale.

Direct peers

Both companies sit in the southeastern Mexico airport value chain.
• Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP): GAP operates airports across Mexico's Pacific region and competes for the same airport modernization and construction mandates that Grupo DICAS' construction division services. Both firms operate in Mexican airport infrastructure with overlapping capabilities.
