Market Focus: Trends and Developments in the Confectionery Sector in Mexico

This report brings together consumer insight and market data to provide a comprehensive brief of the Mexican Confectionery sector. This allows for the rapid identification of key growth opportunities across three Confectionery categories and their packaging.

A large, young and rapidly growing population and rising living standards makes Mexico a key emerging market for consumer packaged goods companies. However, the rising price of staple foods is damaging the ability of the country's young middle class to purchase packaged goods. Meanwhile, convenience is of growing importance in Mexican food culture, as consumers look for quick and easy meals as a result of long working hours, the loss of women at home to cook meals as they enter the workforce, or as consumers replace traditional meal times with other leisure activities.

Strong macroeconomic growth is creating a large middle class with considerable buying power, particularly in urban centers such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. Meanwhile, over 40 million Mexicans are less than 20 years old; they have more disposable income than their parents did at their age, and have greater access to national retail chains.

Food and Grocery sales in Mexico will increase across all channels; however, the majority of this growth will occur in modern retail chains as they expand beyond core urban centers and into smaller towns. The Food and Grocery market will consolidate as consumers continue to be attracted by the “all under one roof” offer and price advantage held by retailers such as Walmart and Soriana.

Spanning over 32 pages, “Market Focus: Trends and Developments in the Confectionery Sector in Mexico” report you will understand the size of the market, the economic, demographic, and behavioural trends that will drive its evolution and the leading players within the market, allowing you to plan effectively for the future.

Key Highlights

• Japan's weak economic growth has resulted in one of the slowest growing CPG markets in the region. However, Japan still remains one of the most affluent societies worldwide, and its CPG market is one of the largest and most mature. Higher consumer expenditure and mild inflation is expected to boost demand for consumer goods in Japan in 2013.
• The Japanese prefer less sweet and soft confectionery products compared to North America and Europe. The functional benefits of Confectionery products are major growth drivers in the overall market. Moreover, the demand for individually packed items, such as bags of chocolate mini bars that can be taken as quick snacks, is high. Exotic flavours, including green tea, soy sauce, and watermelon are highly favoured by Japanese consumers.
• The demand for Sugar Confectionary will grow briskly between 2012 and 2017 helped by stiff competition between pharmaceutical companies and traditional sugar confectioners leading to multiple product launches claiming functional benefits ranging from medicated candies to vitamin enriched lozenges.
• The Confectionery sector is the largest Flexible packaging category in the Food market in Japan and accounted for 23% of total Flexible packaging consumption in volume terms in 2012. Films account for almost half of the packs used, with Wrappers and Foils the other key packaging types. Meanwhile, very few packs use a closure or an outer.
• Japan's aging population is driving increased demand for functional products such as sugar-free gums containing xylitol, which prevent tooth decay, or breath freshening mints. Meanwhile, the low number of children is causing slower growth in the bubblegum segment.
