PepsiCo Inc. announced plans Friday to invest $5 billion to expand in Mexico over the next five years, a move that will boost its production capacity and add 4,000 new jobs to the country's economy.

The beverage and snack maker said Mexico is "one of the most attractive markets in Latin America, with a growing middle class and numerous opportunities for long-term economic growth."

The New York-based company has been investing aggressively in recent years to strengthen its business in emerging markets. In 2012, those growing markets accounted for 35% of the company's net revenue.

"The investments we've made to bolster our position in key markets around the world are fueling our success," said Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo's chief executive, in a statement.
