E-commerce Expansion and Logistics Modernization
Mexico’s online retail sector generated USD 47.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 176.6 billion by 2033, reflecting a 14.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2033. This surge has prompted retailers and third-party logistics providers to lease over 3.5 million m² of industrial space in the Mexico City metro area between 2021 and Q3 2024, accounting 32% of all new leases to establish e-commerce distribution hubs and specialized packaging lines capable of handling varied stock-keeping units and supporting accelerated fulfillment cycles. Additionally, with internet penetration at 83.2% in early 2024 and 125.4 million cellular connections, the online shopper base has expanded significantly, driving demand for packaging machinery with rapid format-change capabilities to accommodate diverse product assortments. In response to consumer expectations for faster delivery and higher order accuracy, companies are increasingly integrating automation, conveyor systems, and real-time monitoring to boost throughput, minimize packaging errors, and propel machinery sales.
Automation, Sustainability and Regulatory Compliance
Mexico’s leading food, beverage, and pharmaceutical producers are significantly increasing automation investments to enhance efficiency, traceability, and product consistency. Reflecting this trend, demand for packaging and processing machinery surged by 25% in 2022, reaching USD 906 million after three consecutive years of stagnation. Capacity upgrades in agribusiness, particularly in animal proteins, fresh produce, and beverage bottling have prompted adoption of robotic case packers, machine-vision systems, and AI-driven maintenance diagnostics to minimize downtime and reduce labor costs. Concurrently, stringent environmental regulations and corporate ESG commitments are accelerating the transition to sustainable packaging technologies. Flexible packaging, now accounting for 63% of food applications, is expanding at over 10% annually as companies prioritize materials that extend shelf life while reducing waste. Federal mandates for eco-friendly packaging, together with retailer requirements for reduced shelf-space formats, are further driving demand for equipment compatible with recyclable, compostable, and lightweight materials.
