Initially, pallets were mainly used by large corporations and multinationals in Mexico. However, as the Mexican economy continued to grow, the use of pallets became more widespread, and more local companies started adopting the use of pallets in their operations. In the 1990s, the adoption of pallets in Mexico received a significant boost when the country signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The agreement allowed for increased trade between Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Pallets were essential in facilitating the transportation of goods across the borders. Pallet market in Mexico is growing due to the expansion of various industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and retail. The use of pallets has become essential for the efficient movement of goods throughout the supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution and retail. The most common types of pallets used in Mexico are wooden and plastic, with a preference for wooden pallets due to their lower cost and availability. However, there is an increasing demand for plastic pallets due to their durability and ease of cleaning. The pallet market in Mexico is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for efficient logistics and the expansion of various industries.

The pallet market in the Mexico is segmented by material type into four parts based on material type: wood, plastic, metal, and corrugated. Currently, wood pallets are dominating the market, and wood pallets are expected to dominate the market for pallets in the country during the forecast period due to their greater reusability than plastic pallets and low cost per trip. They are also reusable, easy to repair, and can carry heavy loads of goods. A plastic pallet is a flat platform made from plastic materials, typically polyethylene or polypropylene that is used to transport, store, and stack goods. It is an alternative to traditional wooden pallets and has advantages such as being lighter, more durable, and resistant to moisture and pests. Metal pallets are another pallet variant, besides those made of wood and plastic, with very specific applications. Due to them being heavy-duty, they are the most commonly used pallet in the automotive and metal processing sectors. Corrugated pallets, also known as paper pallets or cardboard pallets are pallets made from paper board sheets, corrugated material and other reinforced paper goods, rather than wood. Corrugated pallets can be made using engineered corrugated products that are suited for clean room environments in medical, pharmaceutical and non-wet food applications.
