Increasing Demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Mexico
The market is experiencing a growing shift toward Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) due to global sustainability mandates and airline decarbonization goals. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set a target for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, prompting Mexican airlines and fuel suppliers to explore SAF blends. Mexico’s strategic location as a key aviation hub in Latin America further accelerates this trend, with major airports such as Mexico City International (AICM) and Cancún International considering SAF integration. Additionally, government policies promoting renewable energy and partnerships with biofuel producers are also supporting the Mexico aviation fuel market growth. Mexico's clean energy industry is making significant progress, with renewable resources supplying 24.1% of electricity generated in 2022, with modern renewables alone covering 12.97% of final energy consumption. Both biofuels and waste consumed 6.7% of the total energy usage in the same year, mainly used by the residential market at almost 80%. With Mexico looking to cut carbon emissions, these advancements indicate that there is huge potential for the advancement of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in line with global energy transition goals. Moreover, investments in bio-refineries and collaborations with international energy firms indicate a strong future for SAF in Mexico’s aviation sector, aligning with global environmental standards and reducing carbon footprints.
Expansion of Low-Cost Carriers Driving Jet Fuel Consumption
The rapid growth of low-cost carriers (LCCs) in Mexico is significantly increasing jet fuel demand. In 2023, Mexico's jet fuel consumption reached approximately 89.98 thousand barrels per day, marking a significant increase from 86.75 thousand barrels per day in 2022. Airlines such as Volaris and Viva Aerobus are expanding domestic and international routes, leveraging Mexico’s growing middle-class population and rising air travel affordability. This trend is further supported by increasing tourism, particularly in destinations including Cancún, Los Cabos, and Puerto Vallarta. As LCCs operate high-frequency, short-haul flights, their fuel consumption per passenger is higher than traditional airlines, leading to greater overall jet fuel demand. To meet this rise, Pemex and private fuel suppliers are enhancing distribution networks and storage capacities at key airports. However, fuel price volatility and reliance on U.S. imports pose supply risks. Despite these challenges, the continued expansion of budget airlines is expected to sustain robust jet fuel demand, reinforcing Mexico’s position as a key aviation market in Latin America.
