Aaron Rodriguez offers expert insight into how Latin American commerce is changing

Latin American commerce is changing and rapidly. eCommerce is expected to grow by 24% in Brazil this year alone. Mexico’s e-commerce market is expected to reach $23 billion by 2025. And in Argentina, online sales grew by a whopping 34% last year. The reason for this growth is simple: more and more Latin Americans are shopping online. In fact, a recent study found that 63% of internet users in the region have made an online purchase in the last 12 months. Aaron Rodriguez, an expert in business development and Latin American commerce, explains what is driving the growth.

The rise of digital commerce in Latin America is having a profound impact on the way businesses operate. According to Rodriguez, the change is being driven by two major factors: the proliferation of mobile devices and the rise of social media. These trends are providing new opportunities for businesses to reach and engage with consumers.

Latin America is currently the fastest-growing region for a number of companies, and Rodriguez believes that this is just the beginning. He predicts that Latin American commerce will continue to grow at an accelerated pace as more businesses embrace digital tools and platforms.

Explains Rodriguez, “This growth will have a major impact on how businesses operate, forcing them to adapt their strategies to stay ahead of the curve. For companies looking to enter or expand their presence in Latin America, now is the time to start thinking about how to capitalize on this rapidly changing landscape.”

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in online shopping in Latin America. This trend is being driven by a growing middle class with more disposable income, and by the increasing availability of high-speed internet access.

Mobile commerce is also on the rise in Latin America. This is being driven by the increasing penetration of smartphones and tablet devices, as well as by the development of new mobile payment platforms such as Boleto Bancario and MercadoPago.

As Latin American economies continue to grow, businesses are increasingly looking to expand their operations into other markets. This has led to a significant increase in cross-border trade between Latin American countries.

With the growth of e-commerce and mobile commerce, new business models are emerging in Latin America. These include online marketplaces such as MercadoLibre and OLX, and on-demand delivery services such as Rappi and Cornershop.

As consumers become more comfortable making purchases online, they are also increasingly turning to digital payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and cryptocurrency. This is driving more innovation in the digital space, which, in turn, leads to more interest in eCommerce growth.

Another trend that Rodriguez highlights is the increasing importance of social media in Latin American commerce. He notes that platforms like Facebook and Twitter are playing an increasingly important role in connecting businesses with consumers. This is particularly true for younger generations, who are more likely to use these platforms on a daily basis.

Overall, Rodriguez believes that Latin American commerce is headed in a positive direction. The region has a lot of potential and businesses that are able to adapt to these changes will be well-positioned to succeed in the future.

The need for innovation is not limited to e-commerce platforms; Rodriguez says that brick-and-mortar businesses are also feeling pressure to keep up with the changing demands of consumers. He cites the example of C&A, a Brazilian retailer that has introduced self-service checkout counters and contactless payments in its stores.

Overall, Rodriguez says that the rise in consumer demand is having a positive impact on businesses in Latin America. He notes that businesses are being forced to become more efficient and innovative in order to meet the needs of consumers.
