Regulation, reformulation and the gradual re-education of consumers
Health and wellness in Mexico in 2024 continued to be shaped by a complex interaction between regulatory pressure, deep-rooted consumption habits, and a gradual but meaningful shift in consumer awareness. Across packaged food and beverages, obesity, diabetes and metabolic health remained central public concerns, reinforced by front-of-pack warning labels, advertising restrictions and ongoing public health messaging. These forces drove widespread reformulation efforts, particularly around sugar, sodium and calories, while also encouraging manufacturers to rethink how health benefits are communicated. Although indulgence and affordability remain powerful drivers of demand, consumers are increasingly more informed and selective, creating space for products that balance health credentials with taste, familiarity and convenience.
