About this industry
Industry definition
Mexico is the world's fourth-largest beer-producing country, behind the United States, Brazil and China. According to the Secretary of Economy, beer production increased nearly 30.0% in the past decade and domestic consumption of brews has risen 20.0% since 2007. Operators in the Beer Wholesaling industry in Mexico have benefited from the country's rapid expansion of its beer economy. Beer wholesalers are primarily concerned with the distribution of beer from brewing facilities to downstream retailers. These operators benefit from the regulatory framework surrounding the sale and purchase of alcohol. In Mexico, individuals are able to buy liquor 24 hours per day, and there is no restriction on the type of establishment permitted to sell beer. As a result, wholesalers are able to sell industry products to grocery stores and convenience stores as well as bars and restaurants. The legal drinking age is 18 in Mexico, making a greater proportion of the population eligible to purchase and enjoy industry products.
