In 2016, sales of ice cream were driven by the consolidation of modern retailers, which included the dynamic growth of convenience stores in the country. It sometimes seems that every time you look around there is a new ice cream parlour or store offering the latest in exotic flavours. The propagation of fancy brands such as Haagen Dazs, Ben and Jerry’s, Santa Clara contributes well to this mesmerizing ice cream market.
Also somewhat surprising, for a relatively low-wage country, is the amount of business done by ice cream brands of which a single serving cone or tub can cost anything from three to four US dollars.
Modern retailers are better equipped with freezers and have more attractive displays of frozen products, which allow a wider range of options and a significant increase in the availability of frozen products. In 2016, the number of convenience stores increased, compared with the previous year, while supermarkets and hypermarkets maintained positive growth in terms of outlets. Hollanda was followed by Grupo Herdez SAB de CV. These companies have a strong presence in the country with wide distribution networks, which means their products and freezers are present in almost every independent small grocer, as well as almost every convenience store. In 2016, both companies are expected to remain leaders in the category. Over the forecast period, sales of ice cream are expected to grow as consumers try new flavours and formats. Also over the forecast period, stronger competition might be observed as Grupo Herdez positions the recently acquired brands from Nestlé and as Nestlé positions the relaunched brand Danesa 33. In 2021, sales of ice cream and frozen desserts are set to reach Mx$10.0 billion at constant 2016 prices.
A positive impact of the current weather conditions of harsh summers across Mexico is improving. In addition, the drought is easing in some areas. Therefore, some dairy operators anticipate more water availability during Q2 and Q3. Pacific Northwest milk production is steady and following normal seasonal patterns. A few bouts of wet weather have kept a lid on milk production, but output has quickly returned as the temperatures moderate. Processors report milk intakes are well balanced with manufacturing needs. Bottling demand is steady and has returned to pre-holiday levels. Industry contacts expect milk volumes to recover as warmer temperatures build into the region. While weather events are suppressing production, manufacturers report there seems to be no shortage of milk available for processing. Contacts further report farmers are already making plans to expand or start new dairies in the coming months. The additional cows and already strong milk intakes are prompting some milk handlers to think about how best to balance the milk supply once the region enters into spring flush.
