The Latin America cookies market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.40% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being driven by the rising sales of cookies on online platforms and the rising popularity of traditional cookies.
Rapid digitalisation has enabled many local artisans and chefs to take their businesses online, which has led to the growth of the Latin America cookies market. Local chefs provide delicious snacking options created from healthy ingredients, including cornstarch and eggs. The cookies are then dipped in chocolate syrup or coconut powder, which gives them a unique taste and texture and contributes to their consumer appeal.
The rising popularity of traditional cookies as a favourable snacking option is also contributing to the Latin America cookies market expansion. For example, in Argentina, alfajores are taking over the demand for commercially manufactured cookies in some regions, due to their authentic taste that serves to complement morning tea/coffee. Traditional Argentine pastries made with soft cookies, alfajores have a rich caramel taste and are consumed widely among people.
In countries like Mexico, cookies are also baked during special events like birthdays, weddings, and graduation ceremonies, among others. During the Christmas holiday season, Bisocochitos (a special cookie) constitutes as much as 30% of the diet of a resident of New Mexico, which points towards the importance of cookies in some parts of the Mexican culture and region. By designing cookie offerings which cater to important landmark events in the Mexican tradition and culture, major Latin America cookies market players can witness significant growth.
