Mexico Food Service Market Trends:

Adoption of Digital Ordering and Delivery Services

Mexico foodservice industry is experiencing a high migration towards ordering and delivery in digital formats based on growing customer demand for convenience. For instance, in March 2024, FEMSA opened andatti Drive in Nuevo León, Mexico—an app-enabled, dual-lane drive-thru coffee concept with CAFFENIO, aimed at fast, personalized service for on-the-go shoppers. Moreover, with escalating dependence on the smartphone and access to the internet, customers want simple means through which they can order food at their preferred eateries or food suppliers. Third-party delivery platforms, as well as digital websites, are rapidly growing, making the customer's experience smooth, with repeat sales boosted. This is in line with Mexico's wider digital evolution, which has enabled the expansion of online food services. Indeed, the Mexican food service market share in the online delivery sector has experienced significant growth, with a significant rise in the number of individuals ordering food online. As consumer tastes change, so too will this move towards a more tech-inspired strategy, providing a better, easier, and more affordable solution for consumers to be able to enjoy food, helping to support a general favorable future for the Mexico food service sector.

Growing Emphasis on Healthy Meals

With the rise of health and wellness trends in Mexico, food service providers are adapting by launching healthier alternatives to their menu that respond to the increasing trend of eating healthier and balanced foods. For example, in May 2024, Latin American "everything app" Rappi, with a user base of more than 30 million, is growing in Mexico, including its Rappi Turbo service for 10-minute food and pharmacy delivery. Furthermore, consumers are intensely becoming conscious of what they eat, driving restaurants and other food service chains to provide low-calorie, plant-based, and organic offerings. These typically feature low-sodium, gluten-free, and vegan meals targeting a health-oriented clientele. The rise in wellness-oriented food products is not only a boon for the consumer but is also driving the Mexico food service market growth by accelerating the diversity of consumers. As more people become aware of the significance of health and nutrition, food service outlets are increasingly adding these menu items to their offerings, indicating a shift in the broader society toward healthier consumption patterns. This trend will persist, promoting long-term market growth and changing the industry to address changing customer demands.

Incorporation of Sustainable Practices in Food Service Operations

Sustainability has emerged as a major area of concern within the Mexican food service sector, with operators becoming more and more inclined to employ practices that mitigate environmental footprint. This movement entails initiatives to eliminate food waste, minimize packaging waste, and procure ingredients sustainably. Most food service operators now include local and seasonal produce, sustainable seafood, and meats on their menus. In addition, environmentally friendly packaging and waste reduction initiatives are being implemented in restaurants, catering companies, and fast food chains. This dedication to sustainability not only aligns with international environmental targets but also is attractive to customers who are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their dining choices. Amplifying need for sustainable behaviors is fueling transformation throughout the entire foodservice industry, to the benefit the Mexico food service market outlook as it grows to satisfy the increasingly high expectations of ecofriendly consumers.
