What Mexico’s CPGs Want in Their Packaging Machinery Investments

Mexican CPG companies consider several aspects of price, post-sale service, and flexibility when making packaging machinery purchasing decisions.

Surveyed CPGs say price is the top priority in purchasing decisions, but delivery times and after-sale services also play a significant role.

Much like their U.S. counterparts, Mexican CPG companies need new packaging machinery to check several boxes before pulling the trigger on an investment, according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s report, “Mexico’s Packaging Machinery Market Trends and Opportunities 2024-2025.”

Business Intelligence researchers surveyed 86 packaging and processing machinery users and interviewed 40 representatives from CPGs and relevant chambers and associations within Mexico’s food, beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries for the report. 

Price above all for packaging machinery

The researchers concluded that cash is king; surveyed companies say price is the primary factor influencing purchasing decisions when comparing packaging machinery alternatives. Price also ranks at the top in responses to the question, “In what areas can packaging machinery manufacturers improve?”

Mexico is a price-sensitive market, and packaging machinery investments are no exception. Price typically carries the most weight in investment decisions, especially for mid-sized and small companies. In larger corporations, return on investment or cost-benefit analysis is more important than machinery price per se.
