Brazil’s ecommerce sector is currently expanding rapidly. In part, this is because consumers have moved online as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the sector was already growing rapidly. Competition is fierce in Brazil and long-established market leader Mercado Livre, which launched in 1999, faces challenges from local retailers and marketplaces, and from international companies, including a country-specific Amazon offering.
Brazil is also a country where, thanks to developments in payments and logistics, the market is evolving rapidly. While ecommerce has hitherto enjoyed the greatest uptake in the country’s megacities, those in towns and rural areas are also beginning to shop more online.
