Market Trends of Mexico Glass Packaging Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Mexico Glass Packaging Market according to our research experts:
Glass Bottles and Containers Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- Mexico is one of the prominent markets for glass bottle packaging because of its traditional manufacturing and production of alcoholic beverages. In addition, in December 2020, Country Malt Group broadened its distribution in Mexico with BeerMex, a brewing and distilling supply business in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. The expanded partnership will enable craft brewers and distillers across Mexico easy access to the full range of quality malts, ingredients, and products in the Country Malt portfolio.
- The country is witnessing new partnerships for the establishment of new breweries. For instance, in the recent past, Heineken partnered with KHS to open one of the largest breweries in Mexico, setting a gold standard for ecological and economic sustainability. Such expansions in production capacities are anticipated to generate demand for glass bottles in the country over the forecast period.
- While the glass industry in Mexico is currently faced with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the trade agreement between Mexico, Canada, and the United States is expected to increase demand in Mexico's glass industry with increased demand for glass bottles and container market.
- Moreover, the president of the country, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, criticized the production of beer and milk in areas with insufficient water. In 2020, the populist president canceled plans for Constellation’s new 10 million hl brewery on Mexico’s northern border and questioned the whole idea of producing beer for export. This is currently acting as a restraint for the glass bottle producers in the country.
