The BBQ charcoal briquette market in Latin America is experiencing steady expansion, driven by the region's strong barbecue culture, particularly in countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, where grilling is deeply embedded in social traditions. The growing middle class and increasing disposable incomes are encouraging consumers to shift from traditional lump charcoal to briquettes due to their consistent heat output and longer burn time. Urbanization is also catalyzing the demand for clean-burning, compact fuel alternatives that are easy to transport and store. However, market growth is somewhat restrained by limited public awareness regarding sustainable briquette options and a fragmented supply chain that lacks consistent quality standards across countries. Despite these challenges, the market is seeing new opportunities in eco-friendly briquettes made from agricultural waste and coconut shells, which cater to environmentally conscious consumers and help reduce deforestation. E-commerce platforms are gaining traction as convenient distribution channels, especially in metropolitan areas. Trends such as healthier cooking methods, reduced smoke emissions, and biodegradable packaging are shaping product development. With increased efforts in certification, education, and rural manufacturing cooperatives, the LATAM BBQ charcoal briquette market is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5.8% from 2025 to 2030.
