Mexico Healthy Snacks Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The Mexico healthy snacks market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.50% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being aided by the growing incidences of childhood obesity in Mexico, coupled with a rising demand for protein-rich snacks, in Mexico.

Amid the rising rates of childhood obesity in Mexico, many states, including Tabasco and Oaxaca, are implementing stringent bans on the sale of junk food, prompting food and beverage companies to switch towards healthy snacking options. By incorporating natural ingredients and exotic spices, flavour enhancement has become a key focus of market players.

There is also a resurgence in demand for regional flavours, including snacks prepared from traditional sauces like Martajado (unevenly grounded onion and tomato sauce) and Tatemada (prepared by burning the skin of spicy ingredients on coal), among others. This is expected to contribute to the Mexico healthy snacks market expansion in the forecast period.

Protein deficiency is one of the main causes behind the prevalence of malnutrition in Mexico (12%). This is accelerating the demand for protein rich food among Mexican consumers. One of the key Mexico healthy snacks market trends is the consumption of grasshoppers along with hamburgers, pizzas, and guacamole. Insects have been consumed since the pre-Hispanic times and are highly popular among the Mexicans. As challenges related to climate change affect the food and water security of the country, the popularity of grasshoppers as a snacking option is expected to record continuous growth and propel the Mexico healthy snacks market growth in the coming years.
