NH tea has seen demand bolstered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The category was expected to see continued strong growth in 2021 having already recorded double-digit current value growth in the previous year due to its health and immunity-boosting positioning.
Carbonated bottled water was expected to see dynamic growth in 2021, with prominent examples including Topo Chico and Schweppes. With rising concerns about sugar consumption bolstered by the implementation of the new labelling regulation and awareness of the risk obesity poses in terms of severe outcomes from COVID-19, consumers have become increasingly conscious of their sugar consumption.
Sales of NH beverages are led by Nestlé, with Grupo Jumex SA de CV and Grupo Peñafiel SA de CV ranking second and third, respectively. While Jumex and Del Valle are the leading brands in NH fruit/vegetable juice and offer an interesting variety of flavours, Nestlé’s Santa María brand competes with its NH still natural mineral bottled water brand.
As the NOM 051 seals only apply to products with added sugar, naturally sweet products like 100% juice have the potential to see the benefit of not drawing attention to their sugar content. Many products that could avoid this labelling, however, tend to have higher average unit prices, which put them beyond the purchasing power of many consumers, especially in the challenging economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 crisis.
The trend towards local production will likely persist as consumers look out for products of Mexican origin. The trend towards preparing at home, however, is expected to decline as consumers return to their previously mobile lives post COVID-19.
As opportunities for socialising in person return in the post-pandemic environment, consumers are expected to shift from using colas, flavoured carbonates and juice in their mixed drinks to using carbonated bottled water. In addition, there is evidence that health considerations are migrating towards alcohol consumption as a result of government announcements recommending limiting the consumption of alcohol and a growing interest in showing caloric content on alcoholic beverages.
