Mexico’s Packaged Food Demand Grows, Packaging Machinery Follows

Growing consumer purchasing power and U.S. imports are fueling an uptick in Mexico’s packaging machinery demand.

Mexico's increase in packaged goods demand can be attributed to factors like increased consumer purchasing power, shifting consumer preferences, and the growth of e-commerce.

As more Mexican consumers buy packaged food products, several producers are expanding their capacities to keep up with growing market needs.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s report, “Mexico’s Packaging Machinery Market Trends and Opportunities 2024-2025.” The food sector was the primary driver of Mexico’s packaging machinery imports in 2023, rising 3% compared to the previous year.

The food sector accounted for the largest share of packaging machinery imports by sector in 2023, followed by the beverage sector.The food sector accounted for the largest share of packaging machinery imports by sector in 2023, followed by the beverage sector.PMMI Business Intelligence: Mexico’s Packaging Machinery Market Trends and Opportunities 2024-2025Growing packaged food demand fuels expansion

This demand growth is evident in reports from publicly traded food companies like Bimbo and Sigma Alimentos, which have consistently reported record-breaking revenues and profits in recent years, driven by unprecedented volumes in both local and export markets.

An uptick in consumer purchasing power, fueled by rising wages, remittances, and social programs, coupled with shifting consumer preferences toward convenience and the burgeoning growth of e-commerce and delivery platforms, has contributed to domestic demand for packaged food products.
