The Mexico food preservatives market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the demand for natural preservatives in food products.
Food preservation is the technique of treating food with preservatives to prevent or reduce decomposition of food caused by microorganisms such as bacteria & fungus, as well as to extend its shelf life. Reduces lipid oxidation, which causes rancidity.
To avoid bacterial impacts, food preservatives are used in dairy, beverage, meat, snack, and seafood establishments during processing and packing. The shelf life of the food is extended, and the color, flavor, and texture are improved, but the inherent features of the food are preserved. Food preservatives also serve as antioxidants, antimicrobial agents, chelating agents, and enzyme attackers, among other activities.
The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the food preservative market. Preservatives in meat aid in preventing the microbial growth, delaying enzymatic activity, and avoiding the oxidation of fatty acids that cause rancidity. During the lockdown in early 2020, retail sales of frozen meat, poultry, and shellfish surged. This was primarily due to increasing demand for frozen foods as people cooked more meals at home. During the pandemic, the bread business grew rapidly, and customers' moved toward prepared meals-to-go in grocery stores contributed to the requirement for food preservatives. Manufacturers are now focused on development of plant-based food preservatives to cater customers’ requirements.
The yearly value of processed food exported from Mexico was USD 8.44 million in 2017, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico. The number of enterprises involved in the preparation of bread goods and tortillas in Mexico increased from 119530 in 2007 to 129650 in 2017, according to the same organization.
