Mexico Meat Processing Market Trends:

Growth in Meat Consumption

Mexico's meat consumption will grow impressively in the future, fueled by growing demand for poultry, pork, and beef. Poultry is likely to experience the most significant growth based on shifting consumer tastes. Meat production in the country has grown, bolstered by favorable trade arrangements that have assisted in lowering barriers to importation of meat and feed. This has created a boost in domestic production, particularly in pork, chicken, and beef, to satisfy increased consumer demand. With its growing efficiency, the meat market in the country is changing, and poultry is leading the way. The change in consumption habits and improved production capacity is poised to redefine the market such that more meat is available and accessible to Mexican consumers. These factors are intensifying the Mexico meat processing market growth. For example, as per industry reports, Mexico's meat consumption is set to rise significantly by 2033, with a projected 82.5 kg per capita consumption, primarily driven by poultry, pork, and beef. Poultry will see the highest increase, rising from 38.3 kg in 2023 to 43.8 kg in 2033. The growth follows the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which eased trade barriers and spurred imports of meat and feed, leading to expanded domestic production, particularly in chicken, pork, and beef.

Expansion of Meat Processing Facilities

The meat processing sector in Mexico is experiencing significant growth with the establishment of large-scale production facilities aimed at meeting rising demand. New facilities featuring advanced infrastructure such as coolers, freezers, smokehouses, and packaging areas are being set up to enhance production capacity. This expansion is part of a broader effort to strengthen domestic meat processing operations, as companies invest in modern technologies and facilities. As production capabilities increase, the Mexican market is poised to see improvements in the efficiency and quality of meat products. This expansion also indicates Mexico's growing role as a key player in the meat processing industry, further bolstering its competitive position in the global market. For instance, in September 2024, Western Smokehouse Partners, in collaboration with Chomps Meat Sticks, announced plans to open a 300,000-square-foot production facility at the former Soft Surroundings site on Liberty Street. The facility, which will feature coolers, freezers, smokehouses, and packaging areas, is expected to be operational by August 2025. This will be the company’s sixth location and third partnership with Chomps, following facilities in Greentop and Shelley, Idaho. The previous occupant, Soft Surroundings, relocated to Mexico.
