Mexico Foodservice Market Analysis
The Mexico Foodservice Market size is estimated at 83.13 billion USD in 2023, and is expected to reach 138.81 billion USD by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.92% during the forecast period (2023-2029).
- The growth rate of Quick Service Restaurants segment indicates that it is the largest foodservice type. The demand for convenient, affordable food options and product innovations based on trends among younger generations who are constantly on the go led to the market's growth.
- Among all the Outlets, Independent Outlets is the largest contributor to the Mexico Foodservice Market. A rise in tourism and the increasing number of immigrants in Mexico led to independent restaurants serving a wide range of cuisines from all over the world.
- Cloud Kitchen is the Fastest-growing foodservice type for the Mexico Foodservice Market. The rising demand for food delivery and the scalability offered by cloud kitchens have led to several investments, making it the fastest-growing segment in the Mexican market.
- The Fastest-growing outlet for the Mexico Foodservice Market is Chained Outlets. Chained restaurants focus on increasing the number of outlets, marketing, and advertising to increase customer footprint and boost their growth.
Quick Service Restaurants is the largest Foodservice Type
- Quick service restaurants held the largest market share in the Mexican foodservice market in 2022. The segment registered a CAGR of 9.19% by value during the study period. This is because fast food options are considered more affordable meal-purchasing options in Mexico. The average order value in Mexican quick service restaurants was USD 5.15, while the same value was USD 9.51 and USD 10.43 in cafes & bars and full service restaurant segments, respectively.
- A major challenge for the quick service restaurants segment in Mexico is the ban on fast-food sales to minors imposed by various state governments in the country. For instance, more than 50 jurisdictions in Mexico have imposed taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages during the past ten years, discouraging consumers from purchasing hazardous items. This strategy is aimed at and expected to stop 239,000 cases of obesity, almost 40% of which will occur in children. The states of Oaxaca and Tabasco passed restrictions on the sale of sugary bottled drinks and high-carbohydrate snacks in 2020, and many more states are expected to follow.
- The Mexican cloud kitchen market is projected to grow and register a CAGR of 13.41% by value during the forecast period. The market is expected to continue its rapid growth due to continual funding by venture capitalists, private equity firms, and angel investors toward the new entrants in the market. Unlike other markets in the region, the Mexican cloud kitchen market is highly fragmented, with the top 10 chains holding only around 5% share of the market. Therefore, chained cloud kitchens are projected to register a CAGR of 15.58% by value during the forecast period.

Mexico Foodservice Market Trends
Quick service restaurants are the most popular dining option in Mexico, with Burger King, O'Tacos, McDonald's, and Starbucks leading the pack.
- The quick service restaurants segment has the major share of the market in Mexico. About 47.43% of customers prefer quick service restaurants when dining outside. Burger King is positioned as the favorite quick service restaurant of Mexicans, followed by McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, KFC, and Domino's Pizza. Quick service restaurant operators are introducing plant-based meats to the menu, as these products tend to perform well in a taco or nacho application with lots of flavors and spices that make it harder to discern plant-based meat from traditional meat.
- The full service restaurants segment holds the second major share in the market. As of November 2021, the State of Mexico had the largest number of restaurants, with roughly 74,400 establishments. Middle Eastern cuisine is the fastest growing in the region. Lebanese is the largest community of foreigners to arrive in Mexico, with over 500,000 people. Lebanese specialties, such as hummus, pita, and falafel, have been adapted to the menu and spices, like harissa, cardamom, and za'atar, are also likely to be introduced.
- The cloud kitchen segment is the fastest-growing segment, and it is projected to register a CAGR of 5.99% during the forecast period. Cloud kitchens are becoming increasingly popular due to the pandemic. The pandemic has just fast-forwarded the trend that was already in place. As restaurants shut down, the importance of saving capital necessitated the switch to cloud kitchens. While some operators solely set up their business as cloud kitchens, some shifted to hybrid models. Cloud kitchens rely on technology to serve their customers. Hence, effective offers and good customer service boost the growth of the cloud kitchen market.
