Decreased domestic methamphetamine production in both small- and large-scale laboratories--a result of law enforcement pressure, public awareness campaigns, and increased regulation of the sale and use of precursor and essential chemicals used in methamphetamine production--is reducing wholesale supplies of domestically produced methamphetamine.
 

Decreases in domestic methamphetamine production have been offset by increased production in Mexico.
 

Methamphetamine availability is not likely to decline in the near term, and in fact, Mexican DTOs can maintain production levels at laboratories in Mexico necessary to offset any further declines in domestic production, to ensure a steady supply of the drug in established markets, and to facilitate further eastward expansion of methamphetamine distribution.
