The food and beverage sector already holds significant weight in the regional real estate market. In Brazil, it represents around 10.5% of logistics occupancy, according to data from SiiLA’s Market Analytics platform. Since 2019, the segment’s presence in A+, A and B Class logistics warehouses has grown 46.5%, revealing a highly dynamic market.

KDP Brazil Global Sourcing maintains an administrative office in Varginha, which also serves as a hub for logistics, procurement and quality control.

In Mexico, where the food and beverage sector represents 7% of the occupied warehouse space, KDP operates three factories, approximately 25 distribution centers, and has its corporate headquarters located in Torre Esmeralda III, a Class A+ building in the Lomas Palmas district of Mexico City.

This already robust base is expected to expand further. In 2024, the Latin American carbonated soft drink market generated more than US$60 billion, while the coffee sector surpassed US$10 billion, according to consultancy Informes de Expertos. Projections indicate steady growth through 2034, with annual rates of 2% for soft drinks and 3.9% for coffee.

Latin America’s protagonism is explained by its dual role: in addition to being responsible for more than half of the world’s green coffee production, led by Brazil and Colombia, it also accounts for nearly 25% of global soft drink consumption — with Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Uruguay among the most dynamic markets worldwide.

This balance between production and consumption makes the region a strategic axis of the global beverage industry. For KDP, any regulatory, climate, competitive or cost-related change in the region has the potential to reshape value chains and reposition players in the global ranking.
