The pandemic resulted in people staying indoors, often voluntarily, which ultimately resulted in an increase in beer consumption in Mexico in 2021. In fact, it was the most preferred alcoholic beverage in the country as it was considered to be more appropriate to drink in the confines of homes, compared to other alcoholic drinks. Another consumption trend witnessed was that a significant majority of beer drinkers moved away from mid-priced beers and onto premium ones to accumulate new experiences.

In 2021, the per capita beer drinking stood at 66.5 liters and there was a growth of 4.7% in consumption. In the same year, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE:BUD)’s subsidiary, Grupo Modelo, was the most popular beer brand in the country.
