PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Steady sales expected to continue, with high-interest categories seeing a more robust performance
Savoury snacks will maintain steady sales over the forecast period, driven by consumer demand for convenient, on-the-go, snacking options that provide both energy and satisfaction. This has prompted manufacturers to diversify their product lines, offering indulgent treats alongside healthier alternatives, such as baked chips and low-sodium nuts, to cater to a broad spectrum of consumer preferences.
Technological developments set to influence snacks across various categories
In a cross-category trend, globally-strong brands in Mexico are expected to bring digital and technological advancements to help reshape product innovation, manufacturing, and distribution. For example, as seen with Mondelez International Inc (GBO), whose global food scientists use an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to create recipes by specifying desired characteristics, including flavour, aroma, and appearance.
Junk food ban in schools could impact sales of savoury snacks
In a further cross-category trend, savoury snacks could also be impacted by the junk food ban in schools. In March 2025, Mexico enacted a nationwide ban on the sale of junk food in schools, targeting ultra-processed products high in sugars, fats, and sodium.
