Analyst Opinion

The Spreads Market in Mexico has been experiencing steady growth due to the increasing adoption of digital technologies, health awareness among consumers, and convenience offered by online services. However, this growth is subdued, likely due to factors such as competition among sub-markets like Jams & Marmalades, Chocolate Spreads, and Peanut Butter, as well as economic challenges and changing consumer preferences.

Customer preferences: As Mexican consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for natural and organic spreads and sweeteners. This trend is driven by a desire for clean label products and a preference for locally sourced ingredients. Additionally, there is a shift towards alternative sweeteners such as stevia and agave, as well as a preference for natural spreads made from fruits or nuts. This reflects a broader global trend towards healthier and more sustainable food choices.
