Esto es debido en buena parte al desarrollo de empresas dada su posición central en el eje Vigo-Porriño y por su posición estratégica en infraestructuras. Presenta importantes polígonos industriales como los de Rebullón, Puxeiros, Montefaquiña y A Veigadaña. Muchas empresas están relacionadas con el sector automovilístico como Copo Mos.

En la zona cercana al aeropuerto, Puxeiros, las grandes naves industriales otras ocupadas por grandes empresas auxiliares del sector de la automoción o metalúrgica que han cerrado, se han visto ocupadas por almacenes de venta al por mayor de propiedad china, lo cual conlleva a generar movimiento de mercancías y compras en dicha zona. Es de destacar, las grandes inversiones aprovechando fondos europeos, locales, provinciales y estatales para restauración o recuperación de zonas que requerían de ciertas mejoras (fuentes, rotondas, señalizaciones, etc.) pero con cuantías inversiones no sirven para generar ningún tipo de actividad. o servicio que pueda traer riqueza al Municipio. La inversión de dichos fondos, que permite humanización de zonas rurales mejoras en la misma, necesita una gran inversión dado el carácter rural y de dispersión de las viviendas del municipio, echándose en falta que dichas mejoras para los ciudadanos se trasladen en inversiones que puedan generar negocios, dígase grandes empresas o centros comerciales.
La ubicación de Mos, en un lugar estratégico del eje Atlántico, hace que debido a su ubicación sea el punto más oportuno para establecer grandes superficinas industriales, de ocio y restauración (Centros Comerciales, Polígonos Industriales, Parques Temáticos).

sector servicios El sector servicios ha aumentado considerablemente en los últimos años, a pesar de que la carencia de zona urbana o núcleo urbano es una situación que no ayuda en absoluto.

Parte de la pista del aeropuerto de Vigo (Peinador) se sitúa en territorio mosense. Durante el mandato de José Antonio Iglesias López se hicieron las gestiones oportunas para ceder parte de los terrenos de Mos donde se asentaría dicho aeropuerto. Hoy en día, dicho aeropuerto ha sido remodelado dotándolo de modernas instalaciones, tanto ampliando las plazas de garaje con un estacionamiento de varias plantas así como la modernización de las propias instalaciones del aeropuerto y de la zona de carga. El problema de la niebla en la aérea donde está ubicado dicho aeropuerto se ha solucionado hace años con la instalación de un sistema de aterrizaje instrumental (ILS), evitando el desvío de vuelos a otros aeropuertos cercanos por no poder aterrizar de manera segura. Dicho aeropuerto sufre las consecuencias y reclamaciones desde hace años de no ser explotado como debería tener en cuenta la zona metropolitana a la que debería de servir como lanzadera, entre otras cosas por la de escasez de rutas y presunto desinterés de las aerolíneas en conectar el aeropuerto con más ciudades españolas, precios muy altos en los billetes, así como competencia de otros aeropuertos cercanos (Santiago y Oporto). En tema de carga aérea debido a la limitación de capacidad en los aviones hacia o desde Madrid hace que la competitividad no sea atractiva, por no poder cargar mercancía voluminosa (aquello que no sea paquetería) en dichos aviones, afectando al tiempo de tránsito de los transportes aéreos.
