Market Growth Factors
The e-commerce market in Brazil is mainly influenced by an increasing number of people having access to the Internet and using their smartphones. The report points out that, at the beginning of 2024, Brazil had 187.9 million internet users with an 86.6% penetration rate, 210.3 million cellular mobile connections which constituted 96.6% of the population, and the median mobile internet speed was improving rapidly (+41.2% increase). These conditions have made online shopping more accessible to a larger part of the population, which in turn has resulted in market growth.
One of the major factors that pave the way for the expansion of the sector is the upgrading in digital payment methods. The creation and quick acceptance of Pix, an instant, no-fee payment system, became the main factor in the change of e-commerce transactions with nearly 30% of e-commerce transactions in 2024 using Pix. The innovation facilitates checkout, eliminates cart abandonment, and reaches the underbanked population, which allows for further market expansion.
The COVID-19 pandemic was the major factor in the swift transition of the consumers to the online shopping, and they were searching for convenience and safety. Traditional retailers improved their online presence, while new players like Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) are planning to open stores both offline and online starting 2025. The rise of mobile and social commerce, including live shopping via platforms like Instagram and TikTok, is also shaping the evolving landscape, creating immersive and personalized shopping experiences that increase user engagement.
