Market Growth Factors

The growing focus of the Mexican government towards renewable energy sources is expected to positively influence the Mexico used cooking oil market growth as it seeks to achieve energy transition and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Used cooking oil is promoted as a key biodiesel feedstock. The biofuels market was estimated at USD 1.19 Billion in 2024, rising to USD 2.51 Billion in 2030. Government programs allow cooking oil to be collected from homes and producers by private companies in tandem with environmental groups who encourage responsible disposal. Cooking oil collectors and processors generate additional revenue from this practice.

An important factor in this increase is the growth of restaurants and fast-food chains in Mexico. According to DENUE 2024, there are 723,285 economic units categorized as restaurants or eating establishments. Convenience food is in demand and has led to people establishing numerous quick service restaurants and sit-down restaurants throughout urban and rural areas. These restaurants often deep-fry food. This requires large amounts of cooking oil use and disposal. With compliance pressures from environmental regulations, this is prompting more of these establishments to sign up with these collection services, ensuring proper disposal of waste oil and generating commercial incentives for providing a collection infrastructure.

The collection, transport and recycling of used cooking oil across Mexico has improved logistics systems. The 7.1% growth in retail sales in 2024 reported by Mexico's largest retail trade association ANTAD, for example, increased the volume of used oil available. Better storage and transport facilities improve product safety and quality and can avoid contamination as waste is delivered to recycling or conversion facilities. Reducing transportation costs using logistics improvements such as real-time tracking, optimized routes and dedicated trucks can improve access to markets and service reliability and hence profit.
