Overview
- Mexico reported $6.48 billion in beer exports for 2025 to 98 countries, a roughly 36% share of global export value, SADER said on Friday.
- The sector supports more than 715,000 direct and indirect jobs in Mexico and contributes about 1.5% of national GDP according to industry figures cited by Heineken and trade groups.
- Anheuser-Busch InBev led global brewer revenues in 2026 with $59.28 billion in sales, far ahead of its nearest competitors, highlighting concentration at the company level.
- Analysts and industry groups say a stronger peso has lowered dollar‑valued export receipts in 2025–mid‑2026 even though export volumes stayed above 4 billion liters.
- Companies and retailers are countering that pressure by pushing product innovation—low/no‑alcohol beers, RTDs and new flavors—and running major promotions on International Beer Day to sustain demand.
