The Mexico carotenoids market attained a value of USD 42.73 million in 2023. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% during 2024-2032 to reach a value of USD 80.02 million by 2032.
Mexico is considered the largest food processor in the Americas, behind the United States and Brazil, and is among the top 15 worldwide. The increasing research and development activities on the health benefits of carotenoids are boosting its use in functional food products. The consumption of carotenoids reduces the incidence of cancers, lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, and improves eye health.
In 2023, the Mexican population invested an average of USD 25.18 in food supplements, representing a 5% growth compared to 2022.
Obesity is a major health concern in Mexico and is a key reason causing premature deaths. As of 2022, Mexico occupies the 5th position in obesity in the world and it is estimated that the figure will rise by 35 million adults by 2030. This is equivalent to 36.8% of people of the total population of Mexico. The inclusion of carotenoids in the diets of individuals is reported to cause reductions in weight, BMI, and other anthropometric measures in overweight and obese people, further contributing to its greater demand.

Kemin Industries expanded its operations in Mexico by establishing a new 1,000+ metric ton capacity product distribution warehouse with a dedicated Kemin Application Solutions (KAS) area for customer-tailored system development and demonstrations.
Increasing utilisation of carotenoids in the nutraceutical sector
Carotenoids are used as an ingredient by the supplements sector due to its ability to offer benefits in the areas of weight management and cardiovascular disease. In Mexico, 36.9% of adults were affected by obesity in 2023, with forecasts suggesting a potential rise to 45% by 2030, thus expanding the applications of carotenoids.
Increasing poultry feed production
Carotenoids, a crucial natural antioxidant with pigmenting qualities, hold a significant position in poultry farming. The rise in poultry farming output from 20.7 million tons in 2018 to 21.5 million tons in 2023 has stimulated the demand for carotenoids.
Rising popularity of carotenoids in the cosmetics sector
With significant carotenoid production in the country, companies are expanding their cosmetics production base within the country. For instance, One of Unilever's top ten markets, Mexico serves as a major hub for the export of cosmetics and personal hygiene goods to 25 other nations and regions. Unilever Plc announced in 2023 that it would invest USD 400 million in Mexico, opening a manufacturing plant in the border state of Nuevo León in the north.
Rising aquaculture production presents significant opportunities for the carotenoid market
Mexico stands among the top 15 aquaculture producers worldwide, with the industry production reaching 237 thousand tons in 2023 and is further projected to reach about 296 thousand tons by 2030. This is increasing the demand for carotenoid due to its disease resistance and immunity enhancement properties in aquatic animals.
Owing to the increased health consciousness, ageing population, and rising disposable income, the market for nutraceutical and dietary supplements is growing, which is expected to drive the demand for carotenoid-based supplements in Mexico. The carotenoid market in Mexico is thus expected to benefit from the growing emphasis on health and well-being.
Mexico’s strategic location offers significant advantages for exporting carotenoid-based products. Being close to major markets like the United States and Canada gives Mexican producers a significant advantage. The USMCA trade agreement, which succeeded NAFTA, guarantees continued preferential access to North American markets. By reducing tariffs and streamlining trade procedures, USMCA makes it easier for Mexican companies to export products like annatto-based natural food colourings.

Based on application, the animal feed sector accounts for a significant share of the market
Carotenoids are mostly used in animal feed as supplements to bolster animal health. In 2023, Mexico produced 43.1 million tons of feed rising from 40.2 million tons in 2018, with the broiler industry averagely consuming about 450 million grams and the layer sector consuming an additional 50 million grams of xanthophylls.
Carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, are commonly found in supplements. Supplement consumption in Mexico is rapidly increasing as health awareness grows among the middle class and professionals.
Based on type, beta carotene is a major contributor to the Mexico carotenoids market revenue
Individuals with high blood levels of carotenoids such as beta carotene can lower their risk of macular degeneration by up to 35%.
Beta carotenes can reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive decline, increasing its adoption among the elderly population. As of 2022, Mexico had an elderly population of 8.32%. In Mexico, it is estimated that the number of dementia cases will increase by 209% between 2019 and 2050, reaching a total of 1,843,049 individuals.
Astaxanthin, primarily from microalgae, is being used in the feed and food sector for its pigment and antioxidant properties. In 2023, Mexican aquaculture production reached 237 thousand tons and is projected to reach about 296 thousand tons by 2030, thus, increasing the demand for astaxanthin due to its immunity enhancement properties in aquatic animals.
The market players are focusing on providing high quality products at competitive prices, with improved customer service, product support, and performance features.
