White goods market trends and consumer advice in Mexico

The white goods market in Mexico is characterized by complex pricing dynamics that do not always align with general inflation rates. While INEGI reported an annual inflation rate of 3.45% in September 2026, this figure represents a broad basket of goods and does not dictate the specific costs of appliances like refrigerators or washing machines.

To navigate potential sales, such as those during Buen Fin, Profeco has advised consumers to compare specific product codes and track price histories to ensure discounts are genuine.

On the industrial side, manufacturing data from INEGI's 2024 Economic Censuses shows significant growth in the sector within Coahuila. Between 2018 and 2023, the manufacturing of white goods was the second activity with the highest increase in gross censal added value in that state.
