Brazil E-commerce Market Growth Factors

The e-commerce market in Brazil grows in part because the internet increasingly penetrates and smartphones penetrate. In January 2024, 187.9 million people were using the internet within Brazil, a penetration rate of 86.6%. There were 210.3 million cellular mobile connections for a 96.6% penetration rate. This growth was driven by increased mobile and fixed network speeds improving the user experience. As a result, more consumers are inclined to use online shopping platforms.

Digital payments are a major part of Brazil's economy. The country's instant payment system Pix, created in 2020 by the Central Bank of Brazil, accounted for 30% of all e-commerce payments by 2024, with no fees charged to users. Adopted by roughly three-quarters of the population, Pix lowers time spent in checkout lines and decreases cart abandonment. The Central Bank began initiatives, and Brazilian Fintech companies have included millions of previously unbanked Brazilians financially, pulling them into the digital economy, and expanding the consumer market.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers preferred online grocery shopping more, with supermarkets expanding their e-commerce businesses for safe and convenient shopping. H&M announced plans to open physical stores and e-commerce in Brazil from 2025 in the main cities in the southeast of the country. The expansion of social commerce on messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Instagram, and on social networks such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube through live shopping, along with public sector initiatives to improve digital infrastructure and logistics, have also fostered the growth of e-commerce in Brazil.
