Executive summary

Sales still growing but at lower rates

Mexican consumer foodservice is highly fragmented with few chains present nationally and a lack of strong chained players. In the review period, however, consumer foodservice grew at faster rates than the overall economy. Close one third of the Mexican franchising industry is also related to consumer foodservice. However, the poor performance of the US economy is beginning to affect the Mexican economy, including consumer foodservice franchising. Other macroeconomic factors affecting the performance of consumer foodservice in 2007 and 2008 included the rising costs of food and energy.

Street stalls/kiosks increase in number as a result of recession

Traditionally, consumer foodservice is popular among the unemployed as a source of income, particularly street stalls/kiosks. An initial affordable investment and low entry barriers, along with a large unskilled workforce, makes this option attractive to a large number of adults who do not hold a permanent job. Many unemployed workers with financial resources or savings purchase a consumer foodservice franchise. In contrast, unemployed workers with limited savings generally establish informal consumer foodservice operations on the streets. According to the INEGI (National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics) the unemployment rate in Mexico rose in January 2008. This figure reflects increased unemployment rates stemming from an economic slowdown in 2007.

Demographics reduce economic impact of recession in consumer foodservice

The average age of Mexicans was 27 years in 2007 according to CONAPO (National Council of Demographics). The number of consumers aged 25-39-years-old is growing to account for almost one quarter of the total population. This group is mainly composed of workers, who tend to have larger disposable incomes and who are more likely to spend money on consumer foodservice than other population group. In addition, this age group is expected to grow by four percent in the forecast period.

New legislation puts pressure on consumer foodservice

A number of factors adversely affected consumer foodservice in 2007 and 2008. These included a tobacco ban at consumer foodservice outlets from early-2008, a low 12.5% tax deduction on business meals, and an increased unemployment rate. The tobacco ban states that closed public places, including consumer foodservice outlets, must be totally smoke-free. However, many details are still to be defined. In 2007, CANIRAC (National Chamber of the Restaurant Industry) lobbied congress to pass a law increasing the rate of tax deduction for consumer foodservice business expenses from the current 12.5 to 50%. According to CANIRAC, an increased tax deduction would not have a negative effect on tax revenue for the government. Instead, it would boost consumption in consumer foodservice and generate increased income tax.

Forecast period growth to be less dynamic

Future growth in the number of consumer foodservice outlets is expected to report healthy rates. Ambitious expansion plans from some of the main players such as Grupo Alsea SA de CV, Corporación Mexicana de Restaurantes and Yum! Brands are expected to be postponed until better economic times. Growing demand for convenience may boost the number of transactions, however, while the increased cost of food and other growing costs may push value sales up in the forecast period.
