Health and wellness trends pose a serious threat for meals and soups in Mexico over the forecast period. Consumers are becoming more interested in the ingredients of foods and are opting for healthier alternatives, from products which have a specific health positioning, to opting for cooking at home so they are in complete control of all ingredients which go into their meals.
In a cross-category trend, foodservice sales of meals and soups are finally normalising back towards pre-pandemic figures following the disruptions created by the pandemic years and the subsequent boom once society reopened. This rather slow recovery can be attributed to cautious and rational spending by local consumers in response to high inflation and a challenging economic environment.
Although holding a small distribution share, e-commerce is expected to maintain a positive trajectory in meals and soups over the forecast period, driven by the convenience which online shopping offers, along with the wide ranges of discounts and deals which can be found in the e-commerce space. Home delivery options emphasise the convenience which meals and soups offer, as such services enable consumers to make their selections without even needing to leave the comfort of their homes.

Meals and Soups
This is the aggregation of ready meals, pizza, food kits, prepared salads, and soup. Includes: These are products that have had recipe 'skills' added to them by the manufacturer, resulting in a high degree of readiness, completion and convenience. Food kits is an exception where typically the extent of preparation is much shorter than other meal products; includes meal kits where consumers are to put together pre-portioned ingredients and cook with the guidance of recipe cards. Ready meals are generally accepted to be complete meals that require few or no extra ingredients. However, in the case of shelf stable ready meals, the term also encompasses meal 'centres’; for food kits, they do require a degree of cooking and preparation. As such, some meals may require cooking (ready-to-cook); others may simply need reheating, prior to serving (ready-to-eat). Excludes: Any products sold unpackaged and/or by weight, including food sold from a retail deli counter.
