The leisure industry grows by more than 30%

The mattress industry in Mexico has experienced significant growth, increasing by over 30% in recent years despite challenges such as low economic growth, rising input costs, and competition from Asian imports. This expansion was largely driven by changes in consumer behavior during the pandemic, which led to increased spending on home improvements and furnishings. Industry leaders report that sales grew between 30% and 40% during lockdowns, as people spent more time at home. However, while demand remains strong, growth is expected to slow slightly in the coming years due to reduced consumer activity in specialized stores and departmental outlets. Prices for mattresses vary widely, ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 pesos, depending on quality and brand. The rise of cheaper Chinese imports in informal markets has introduced new competition, but consumers are increasingly prioritizing durability and value over lower prices.
