Advantages of packaging in Mexico

The packaging industry in Mexico presents numerous benefits, making it an attractive option for businesses around the world. Among the main advantages we can highlight:

Cost reduction. Labor costs in Mexico are substantially lower compared to other countries, allowing companies to conduct their operations at a fraction of the expense without compromising on quality.

Proximity to major markets & distribution efficiency. Mexico’s proximity to the United States provides a significant logistical advantage. Companies can fulfill and ship orders on the same day they are received. Additionally, many businesses establish distribution and pick-pack operations near the border, benefiting from lower warehousing costs and efficient logistics.

Country of origin retention. Products packaged in Mexico that are not transformed or advanced in value retain their original country of origin marking. This means that US-manufactured products can still carry the “Made in USA” label.

Skilled labor force & advanced infrastructure. Mexico boasts a highly skilled labor force capable of handling complex packaging requirements with precision and expertise. The country’s advanced infrastructure supports efficient operations, with modern facilities and technology streamlining processes and enhancing productivity.

Duty-free transactions. Most packaging operations conducted in Mexico are duty-free. This significantly reduces the overall cost of importing and exporting packaged goods.

Mexican packaging industry shows continued growth

The packaging industry in Mexico is experiencing robust and sustained growth, driven by a combination of factors that position it as a dynamic sector within the global market. In 2022, as reported by the US Department of Commerce, the market value climbed to $906 million USD, marking a notable 25% increase following years of stagnation.

This growth is propelled by shifting consumption habits, increased remittances from abroad, and substantial government social programs that have boosted the consumption of packaged goods such as beverages, processed foods, medical products, and personal care items.

One of the key factors in this growth, which is still ongoing even in 2024, is the rise of e-commerce. The lockdowns in 2020 accelerated the shift towards online shopping, leading to a remarkable increase in online sales. This trend has significantly boosted the demand for packaging materials, as more products are being shipped directly to consumers.

The packaging material production industry now represents approximately 1.8% of Mexico’s overall GDP, contributing 5.5% to the industrial sector GDP and 8.6% to the manufacturing GDP. Moreover, early estimates for 2024 indicate that the industry is expected to continue its upward trajectory.

With ongoing investments in technology and sustainability, Mexico’s packaging industry is well-positioned to meet future demands and challenges. The focus on innovation and quality ensures that it remains competitive in the global market.
