Fruit and vegetable juices market in Mexico

Earlier Report Observations

Mexican fruit and vegetable juice production rose steadily from 492.5 million liters in 2018 to 577.8 million liters in 2023, supported by favorable climate conditions and public-private investments that boosted agricultural yields for key producing states. The domestic market volume fluctuated during this period, reaching 285.9 million liters in 2020 as COVID-19 lockdowns accelerated a shift toward e-commerce and sustained at-home consumption.

Consumer preferences increasingly favored healthier options such as organic, cold-pressed, and low-calorie juices, spurring product innovation and attracting new market entrants. This trend was reinforced by significant industrial investments, including Coca-Cola's $133 million expansion in production capacity announced in 2023, which helped strengthen the supply base.

Export dynamics, particularly strong demand from the United States with shipments valued around $466 million in 2022, were a major factor shaping domestic availability. While robust exports supported overall production growth, they occasionally limited local supply, before a notable decline in exports in 2023 contributed to a rebound in domestic market volume to 313.6 million liters.
