Beer industry in Mexico - Statistics & Facts

Mexico has become a leading player in the global beer market in recent years. The popularity of beer manufactured in the country has meant a boost in exports and international sales. Although domestic consumption tends to not have drastic changes, international demand, particularly in the U.S., has led to a stark increase in production. By 2022, the Mexican market was estimated to be the third leading beer market in the world.

Domestic market

The beer industry is one of the most important beverage subsectors in Mexico. The country ranked as the third largest producer of beer in the Americas in 2022, only behind the United States and Brazil. Moreover, the industry's production value has grown in recent years. In 2022, Mexico produced 244 billion Mexican pesos worth of beer, approximately 68 percent more than the value reported in 2017.

International market

Mexican beers are also widely recognized and appreciated all over the world. In fact, Mexico manufactures one of the most valuable beer brands globally, Corona. As a result, the country is a net exporter of the product and beer exports have consistently increased year after year. In 2022, exports of beer from Mexico exceeded its imports by 5.45 billion U.S. dollars. Due to demand in foreign markets, Mexico has become the leading beer exporter on a global scale, with its main trade partner being the United States. In 2022, 97 percent of all beer exports from Mexico went to the United States.

Consumption

In Mexico, beer is a social drink to be enjoyed mostly but not exclusively at friends’ gatherings. The mild taste characteristic of Mexican beer also makes it popular for cocktails and other mixed beverages like micheladas. According to a 2023 survey, beer is one of the most regularly consumed beverages, and it is the most preferred alcoholic beverage for regular consumption. In fact, 6.1 billion liters of beer were consumed in Mexico in 2022, with around 98 percent accounting for alcoholic beer.
