• Value Chain Analysis of the Beverage in Mexico.

Commercial Relationships

Commercial relationships within the Mexican beverage industry value chain are intricate and multifaceted, reflecting the diverse players and stages involved. These relationships are primarily structured around procurement, manufacturing agreements, distribution partnerships, and sales channels, often characterized by a mix of long-term contracts, direct sales, and complex supply chain management.

In the Raw Material Sourcing stage, beverage producers establish commercial relationships with various suppliers. For agricultural products like fruits, grains, sugar cane, and agave, relationships exist between individual farmers or farmer cooperatives and large-scale beverage enterprises or specialized ingredient processors. These can range from direct purchase agreements, often secured by contracts that specify volume, quality standards, and pricing, to more complex arrangements involving intermediaries or commodity traders. Water sourcing involves relationships with municipal water utility companies for treated water supply or with operators of private wells, often governed by usage contracts and regulatory compliance requirements. Suppliers of other ingredients, such as sweeteners, flavorings, and additives (including chemical manufacturing companies and specialized ingredient corporations), typically engage in B2B relationships with beverage manufacturers through direct sales contracts, often involving bulk purchasing and technical support services. The packaging materials segment sees beverage companies forming crucial relationships with packaging manufacturers (like Aluprint and Envases Universales for flexible and other packaging). These relationships are typically based on large-volume supply contracts, often customized to specific bottle shapes, can sizes, or packaging formats, and may involve just-in-time delivery models to minimize inventory holding costs for the beverage producer. The demand for packaging machinery imports by the food and beverage industry, accounting for 50% of the value, indicates significant investment and commercial ties with machinery suppliers, likely governed by equipment purchase or leasing agreements and maintenance contracts.

Moving to the Production/Transformation stage, the primary commercial relationships are internal or between concentrate producers and bottlers/manufacturers. Large multinational corporations often have integrated operations where concentrate is produced internally or by a related subsidiary and then supplied to their bottling plants. For instance, Coca-Cola FEMSA and Arca Continental, as major bottlers for The Coca-Cola Company, have licensing and supply agreements with The Coca-Cola Company for concentrates and brand usage. [See Detailed Profiles Section] These relationships are governed by complex contracts outlining exclusive bottling territories, concentrate pricing formulas, quality control standards, and marketing support. Similarly, GEPP, as the PepsiCo bottler, operates under comparable agreements with PepsiCo. [See Detailed Profiles Section] For beer producers like Heineken Mexico and Grupo Modelo (AB InBev), relationships exist with suppliers of malt, hops, and other brewing ingredients, often involving long-term contracts or futures contracts to secure supply and manage price volatility. Craft breweries and traditional producers might have more localized relationships with ingredient suppliers.

In the Packaging stage, which is often integrated with production, the key commercial relationships are with suppliers of packaging materials as mentioned earlier (Aluprint, Envases Universales, etc.). There are also relationships with manufacturers of packaging machinery, involving significant capital expenditure and maintenance contracts. Co-packing companies, which manufacture and package beverages for other brands, have contractual relationships with their clients, outlining production volumes, quality specifications, packaging formats, and pricing per unit or batch.

The Distribution stage involves a complex web of commercial relationships. Beverage manufacturers (like Coca-Cola FEMSA, Arca Continental, Heineken Mexico, Grupo Modelo, GEPP) operate vast in-house distribution networks, implying internal logistics management and relationships with transportation and warehousing service providers if outsourcing occurs. [See Detailed Profiles Section] Relationships with third-party logistics providers (3PLs) involve service contracts for warehousing, inventory management, and transportation, often based on volume or distance. Wholesale relationships are crucial, with beverage companies selling in bulk to various intermediaries: larger retailers (like Walmart Mexico, Soriana), smaller independent stores, cash and carry warehouses, restaurants, and bars. These relationships are characterized by sales agreements, credit terms, delivery schedules, and promotional support. Exclusive distribution agreements for specific territories or channels are common, particularly for alcoholic beverages or smaller brands. The import/export segment involves relationships with international buyers (for Mexican exports like beer and tequila) and international suppliers (for imported beverages or ingredients), as well as relationships with customs brokers and international freight forwarders, governed by trade contracts and logistics service agreements.

Finally, the Retail and Final Consumption stage is where the commercial relationships culminate in sales to the end consumer, mediated by various retailers. In the off-premise segment, beverage companies and their distributors sell to large supermarket chains (Walmart Mexico, Soriana), convenience stores (OXXO), smaller grocers (Tiendas 3B, Aurrera), and specialized stores. These are B2B sales relationships involving purchase orders, invoicing, payment terms, shelf space agreements, and promotional partnerships. Convenience stores like OXXO have a direct and significant relationship with their parent company's bottling operations (FEMSA/Coca-Cola FEMSA), creating a highly integrated distribution and retail model. On-premise establishments (restaurants, bars, hotels) purchase from wholesalers or directly from manufacturers/distributors, with relationships focusing on delivery frequency, product range, pricing, and sometimes equipment provision (e.g., beer taps, refrigerators). E-commerce relationships involve beverage companies or retailers listing products on online marketplaces (Amazon Mexico, Mercado Libre Mexico) or their own websites, utilizing platform agreements, payment processing services, and partnerships with delivery companies (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Cornershop). These relationships are increasingly important due to the growth of online sales.

Products and Services Exchanged

Across the beverage value chain in Mexico, a wide array of products and services are exchanged between the different players at each stage.

In the Raw Material Sourcing stage, the primary products exchanged are the unprocessed or semi-processed ingredients. This includes agricultural products such as harvested fruits (e.g., oranges, mangoes), grains (barley, maize), sugar cane, agave piñas, coffee beans, and tea leaves. Water, meeting specific purity standards, is supplied as a bulk ingredient. Other ingredients exchanged are refined products like various types of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, concentrated flavorings and extracts, food colorings, acidity regulators, preservatives, vitamins, and minerals in various forms (powders, liquids). Packaging materials are supplied in large volumes, including PET preforms or finished bottles, glass bottles, aluminum or steel cans, paperboard cartons, caps, labels, and flexible packaging films. Services exchanged in this stage include agricultural cultivation services (fertilization, pest control), harvesting services, water treatment and purification services, quality testing services for ingredients, and transportation services to move raw materials from source to production facilities.

The Production/Transformation stage involves the exchange of intermediate and finished beverage products. Concentrate producers supply highly concentrated syrups or bases to bottling plants. [See Detailed Profiles Section] Beverage manufacturing facilities produce and package the final liquid products: carbonated soft drinks, various types of beer, tequila, mezcal, bottled water, dairy milk, flavored milk, yogurt drinks, fruit juices, nectars, iced tea, coffee beverages, and traditional drinks like pulque and pozol. Co-packing services are also exchanged, where one company provides manufacturing and packaging services for a brand owned by another company.

In the Packaging stage, the core products exchanged are the finished packaged beverages, ready for distribution. This includes bottles filled with soft drinks, beer cans, tequila bottles, milk cartons, juice boxes, etc., all properly sealed, labeled, and prepared for secondary packaging. Services here primarily involve the mechanical processes of filling, sealing, labeling, grouping multiple units into multi-packs or cases, and palletizing the finished cases for bulk handling. Technical support and maintenance services for packaging machinery are also exchanged.

The Distribution stage focuses on the movement and storage of finished goods. The main products exchanged are palletized cases, cartons, and multi-packs of packaged beverages. Services include warehousing and storage (including temperature-controlled storage for perishable items like dairy drinks), inventory management services, transportation services (trucking, potentially rail or sea freight), route planning and optimization, and order fulfillment (picking and loading). [See Detailed Profiles Section] At the wholesale level, wholesalers purchase bulk quantities of beverages from manufacturers/distributors and then sell smaller bulk quantities (cases, sometimes individual units) to retailers and food service operators. Import services involve bringing foreign beverages into Mexico, while export services involve sending Mexican beverages abroad, particularly beer and tequila. These services include customs clearance, international shipping, and trade documentation.

Finally, in the Retail and Final Consumption stage, the products exchanged are individual units of beverages sold directly to consumers. This includes single bottles, cans, cartons, or multi-packs sold in supermarkets, convenience stores, and smaller shops. In on-premise locations, the products are served drinks, ranging from bottled or canned beverages to draft beer, spirits served neat or mixed, and prepared cocktails. E-commerce platforms facilitate the exchange of packaged beverages ordered online and delivered to the consumer's location. Services provided in retail include merchandising, refrigeration, customer service, and processing transactions. On-premise services include drink preparation, table service, and creating a consumption environment. E-commerce services include online ordering interfaces, payment processing, and delivery logistics coordinated with third-party providers.

Business Models

The commercial relationships throughout the Mexican beverage value chain are underpinned by various business models tailored to the specific interactions at each stage.

In Raw Material Sourcing, the business models are largely based on Supply Contracts and Procurement Agreements. For agricultural products, models can range from direct purchase agreements between beverage companies and large farms to contracts with cooperatives aggregating produce from many small farmers. Commodity trading models are also relevant for globally traded ingredients like sugar or barley. For water, the model is typically a Utility Service Model, involving metered supply and billing based on consumption or negotiated bulk rates. Suppliers of other ingredients often operate on a B2B Sales Model based on direct sales teams, volume-based pricing, and technical support as part of the product offering. Packaging manufacturers utilize Manufacturing and Supply Contracts, often customized for high-volume production runs and potentially involving long-term agreements or framework contracts that guarantee a certain volume over time. The business model for packaging machinery suppliers is typically Capital Goods Sales or Leasing, often bundled with installation, training, and ongoing maintenance contracts.

The Production/Transformation stage for major brands like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo is heavily reliant on the Franchise Bottling Model. Companies like Coca-Cola FEMSA and Arca Continental operate as independent companies but hold exclusive licenses from the brand owners (The Coca-Cola Company) to manufacture, package, sell, and distribute their beverages within defined territories. [See Detailed Profiles Section] This involves paying royalties for the use of the brand and purchasing concentrates from the brand owner. Beer giants like Heineken Mexico and Grupo Modelo operate on a Vertically Integrated Production Model for brewing and packaging, managing these processes in-house. Their relationships with ingredient suppliers are part of a Procurement-focused B2B Model. Craft breweries and traditional producers often follow a Small-Batch Production Model, focusing on local sourcing and direct sales or limited regional distribution. Co-packing companies use a Service Provision Model, where their revenue is generated by charging clients for manufacturing and packaging services on a per-unit or per-batch basis.

In the Packaging stage, integrated with production, the business model for the manufacturers is primarily High-Volume Manufacturing. They invest heavily in automated machinery to achieve economies of scale in filling, sealing, and labeling. Their relationships with packaging material suppliers are typically Bulk Purchasing Agreements. Specialized packaging service providers operate a Service-based Model, offering customized packaging solutions or overflow capacity to beverage companies.

The Distribution stage employs several business models. Major beverage companies like FEMSA/Coca-Cola FEMSA, Arca Continental, Heineken Mexico, Grupo Modelo, and GEPP utilize an Extensive Direct Distribution Model, leveraging their owned fleets and warehouses to reach a vast number of points of sale. [See Detailed Profiles Section] This requires significant investment in logistics infrastructure. Alternatively, some companies use Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Models, outsourcing warehousing and transportation to specialized companies who charge based on services rendered (storage fees, transport rates). The Wholesale Model is prevalent, where distributors purchase in bulk and resell to retailers, adding a margin. Exclusive distributor agreements function as a Territorial Licensing Model, granting a distributor sole rights to sell certain products in a specific geographic area. Import/export relationships are governed by International Trade Models, involving Incoterms, letters of credit, and specialized logistics contracts with freight forwarders and customs brokers.

Finally, the Retail and Final Consumption stage utilizes various sales models. The Supermarket/Hypermarket Model focuses on high volume sales across a broad range of products, including extensive beverage sections. The Convenience Store Model, exemplified by OXXO, focuses on high-frequency, smaller basket size purchases, often with an emphasis on chilled beverages for immediate consumption, leveraging their widespread presence and extended hours. Small Independent Retailers operate on a Traditional Retail Model, often purchasing from local wholesalers and serving a neighborhood clientele. On-Premise Establishments (restaurants, bars, cafes) use a Food Service Model, where beverages are consumed on-site, often commanding higher prices per serving than retail. Their purchases from distributors are part of a B2B Supply Model for the hospitality sector. The rapidly growing E-commerce Model involves online marketplaces (Platform Model) or retailer-owned websites (Direct-to-Consumer Online Model), utilizing digital sales platforms, online payment gateways, and third-party delivery services (Last-Mile Delivery Model).

Bottlenecks and Challenges

Despite its significant size and sophistication, the Mexican beverage industry value chain faces several bottlenecks and challenges across its various stages.

In Raw Material Sourcing, one major challenge is the Volatility of Agricultural Commodity Prices. Fluctuations in the cost of sugar, grains (barley, maize), and fruits due to weather patterns, global markets, and local supply issues can directly impact production costs for beverage manufacturers. For agave, essential for tequila and mezcal, the long maturation period (several years) presents a unique challenge in predicting supply and managing price volatility. Water Scarcity and Quality are increasingly critical issues, particularly in certain regions of Mexico. As water is a fundamental ingredient and used extensively in production processes, limited availability or the need for more intensive purification due to pollution can constrain production volumes and increase operational costs. Ensuring Consistent Quality and Safety Standards for all ingredients across a vast supplier base is also complex, requiring rigorous testing and supply chain management. In packaging, reliance on imported raw materials or machinery can create Supply Chain Disruptions and Cost Increases due to global market factors or trade policies. The environmental impact and increasing consumer demand for sustainable packaging also pose a challenge, requiring investment in new materials and recycling infrastructure.

The Production/Transformation stage faces challenges related to Energy Costs and Efficiency. Manufacturing beverages, particularly processes like brewing and distillation, can be energy-intensive. Rising energy prices in Mexico can impact profitability. Maintaining and Upgrading Aging Infrastructure in some older bottling plants or breweries can be a bottleneck, requiring significant capital investment to improve efficiency and capacity. For smaller craft producers or traditional beverage makers, Scaling Production to meet growing demand while maintaining quality and traditional methods can be difficult. Ensuring Compliance with Strict Food Safety and Quality Regulations is paramount but can be complex and costly, requiring continuous investment in technology and training.

In the Packaging stage, the primary bottlenecks relate to High-Speed Line Efficiency and Maintenance. Automated filling and packaging lines are critical for volume, but breakdowns or inefficiencies can halt production. Sourcing and integrating new, more efficient, or environmentally friendly packaging machinery can also be a challenge, requiring specialized expertise and capital. The availability and cost of Recycled or Sustainable Packaging Materials that meet quality and safety standards remain a challenge, although there is increasing focus on this area.

The Distribution stage in Mexico is particularly challenging due to the country's diverse geography and infrastructure variability. Logistical Complexity and Costs associated with reaching remote areas, navigating congested urban centers, and dealing with varying road conditions across the country are significant bottlenecks. [See Detailed Profiles Section] Security Concerns, including cargo theft, can impact transportation and increase insurance costs and operational risks. Managing a vast and dispersed Warehouse and Inventory Network efficiently while minimizing spoilage (especially for perishable goods like dairy) requires sophisticated systems and management. Maintaining an Efficient "Last Mile" Delivery to millions of diverse points of sale, from large supermarkets to small corner stores, is a constant logistical challenge, requiring optimized route planning and fleet management.

Finally, the Retail and Final Consumption stage presents challenges related to Intense Competition across all channels, from large retailers to small businesses. This pressure impacts pricing and requires significant investment in marketing and promotions. Securing and Maintaining Optimal Shelf Space in competitive retail environments is crucial. The fragmentation of the traditional retail market, with a vast number of small independent stores, requires extensive distribution reach but can also be less efficient to serve than large chains. Changing Consumer Preferences towards healthier options, craft beverages, and new formats (like RTDs and functional drinks) require beverage companies and retailers to constantly adapt their product offerings and marketing strategies. The Growth of E-commerce necessitates investment in digital platforms, online marketing, and efficient last-mile delivery solutions, posing challenges for companies not traditionally strong in digital channels. Regulatory changes, including taxes on certain beverages (like the soda tax), can also impact consumer demand and pricing strategy across retail channels.
