Market Growth Factors

Increased demand for premium and organic meat products is being driven by health conscious consumers interested in grass-fed, antibiotic free and hormone free meat products for food safety, nutrition and wellness reasons. Consumers in urban areas demand meat that people raise ethically and that has higher quality so markets develop niches. Retailers increasingly label and certify beef, chicken and turkey from free-range farms, and pork from pasture-raised farms in a consumer-friendly way in recent years.

Processed meat consumption is driven by convenience. Convenience meat products, such as marinated cuts, sausages, refined products and ready-to-eat meat items like deli meats are appealing to consumers for busy lifestyles. In October 2024, Grupo BaFar announced it will invest US$145.8 million in Michoacan to build four new meat plants to meet a booming domestic and export market, as urbanization and double income spur it. It is also producing healthier variants with less sodium and using natural preservatives.

Mexico Meat Market growth is being driven by the rise of online meat sales, supported by increasing internet penetration, adoption of digital platforms, and the availability of home delivery, subscription boxes, and online-only offers that appeal to consumer convenience and product transparency. The expansion of cold-chain logistics and sustainable packaging—such as the plastic-free compostable packaging launched by the APP Group in June 2024—along with rapid growth in digital marketing and rising consumer trust in online shopping, is further accelerating e-commerce development within the market.
