2022 DEVELOPMENTS
Private labels gains share but Pepsico and Grupo Bimbo retain the lead

snacks increased noticeably towards the end of the review period, with retailers sensing an
opportunity to meet the demands of an increasingly price conscious consumer base. In 2022

highlighting that private label’s overall share within sweet biscuits, snack bars and fruit snacks
remains small.
Comercializadora PepsiCo Mexico and Grupo Bimbo continue to dominate sales within sweet
biscuits, snack bars and fruit snacks in 2022 with no other player holding a significant value
share. Pepsico has a commanding lead in the largest category, sweet biscuits, although it also
has a presence in snack bars. Pepsico offers an extensive range of sweet biscuits under its
well-known Gamesa and Quaker brands. Meanwhile, Grupo Bimbo offers a wide variety of
products under brands such as Marinela, Bimbo and Lara. Like Pepsico, Grupo Bimbo
maintains a wide distribution network, and its brands have a strong presence in small local
grocers across Mexico. Both companies also regularly introduce new products to maintain the
interest of consumers.

there are several law proposals regarding limiting sales through vending machines that are
aimed at reducing consumption among children to address the high rate of childhood obesity.
Distribution near schools may also be restricted, while television advertising activities may be
limited to hours when children are less likely to be watching.
Congress is also currently discussing new regulation which could potentially impact the sale
of sweet biscuits, snack bars and fruit snacks over the forecast period. One of the key points is
the removal of trans fats from industrialised food processes, with these seen to be potentially
harmful to your health. Were this to come into force then some products would have to be
reformulated or removed from the market. There is also discussion around removing products
that have a sugar content above the recommended daily allowance for children. Regulation is
already impacting sweet biscuits, snack bars and fruit snacks with Oaxaca and Tabasco having
implemented a ban on sales of these products to children through any distribution channel, with
this law being considered by other states. Aside from focusing on health, legislators are also
looking at potentially banning single-use plastic which would also force players to make
changes, although many are already exploring more sustainable production practices.
