The article analyzes the industrial sub-branches that belong to the food, beverages, tobacco and chemical branches, which conform the industrial sector of manufactures in Mexico, according to data from the Industrial Economic Census of the National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI). The objective is to assess whether capital requirements and expenses associated with the performance of generic strategies have a superior performance through sales and if the aforementioned affect the number of incumbent companies in the mentioned and analyzed sub-branches. The techniques used were two cross-sectional regressions for the census periods of 2009 and 2014. The findings indicate that capital requirements have positive effects on sales and negative on the number of competitors. In other words they are sustainable advantages because they are associated with benefits and allow to monopolize their industrial sectors (barriers to entry).
