9. Latin America
Ranking basis: GMV/revenue disclosures (Mercado Libre, Magalu, Casas Bahia) + Brazil traffic share (Shopee, Amazon; Conversion/SimilarWeb: 2025 Brazil ecommerce visits 33.9 billion, MELI #1 at 15.3%, Shopee #2, Amazon #3) + qualitative standing. Latin America is most complete for Brazil data; Mexico is counted separately (Temu #1 in traffic).
| Rank | Platform | Company | Key data | Positioning & strengths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mercado Libre | MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) | FY2025 GMV ~$65B; 120 million+ buyers; Q4'25 revenue $8.76B (+45%), GMV $19.9B (+36.8%) | Latin America’s undisputed leader; Mercado Pago fintech synergy; owned logistics; Q4 Brazil GMV +35% (FX-neutral) |
| 2 | Shopee | Sea Ltd | Brazil traffic #2 (recaptured in 2025); Brazil GMV not disclosed ([GAP]); group Q4'25 GMV $36.7B | Brazil is Shopee’s fastest-growing market; low price+cross-border+local logistics (SPX Express) |
| 3 | Amazon (.com.br) | Amazon.com | Brazil traffic #3; Brazil GMV not disclosed ([GAP]) | Global marketplace+Prime logistics; sales and logistics partnership with Magalu; low-price strategy against Asian cross-border |
| 4 | Magazine Luiza (Magalu) | Magalu (B3: MGLU3) | FY2025 net revenue R$27.2B (about $4.7–4.9B, official earnings-document definition); Q4 gross profit R$3.3B (+3.1%) | Brazil’s largest omnichannel retailer; MagaluPay finance; ecommerce deliberately contracted, stores carrying performance |
| 5 | Grupo Casas Bahia | Casas Bahia (B3: BHIA3) | 2025 GMV a record (value not disclosed [GAP]); debt cut 77%; Q4 credit sales a record | Credit-driven lower-tier retail; ecommerce was the 2025 core growth engine; turnaround after restructuring |
| Wildcard | Temu / SHEIN | PDD / Shein | Temu 15.9% of Mexico ecommerce (2025 Q2; full-year ranking unaudited); Temu+Shein Mexico combined about 40% (definition questionable); Brazil Asian cross-border platforms combined about 41.5% | Cross-border low-price shock, but under pressure after Brazil tax hikes |
⚠️ Definition note: the ranking mixes GMV (MELI/Magalu), traffic (Shopee/Amazon), and qualitative standing (Casas Bahia); Brazil is the primary lens — if Mexico is primary, Temu is #1 in traffic and the order differs. Brazil online retail 2025 R$235B (about $40–43B).

- Temu 15.9% ng ecommerce sa Mexico (2025 Q2), traffic #1; Temu+Shein Mexico pinagsama ~40% (kaduda-duda ang depinisyon)
- Inilunsad ang Pix installment (Pix 4x BNPL), nagtutulak ng bayad; Brazil BNPL 2025 $4.66B (+14%); Pix 79.8 bilyong transaksyon noong 2025
- Sadyang pinaliliit ng Magalu/Casas Bahia ang ecommerce, tindahan ang buhat ng performance—pumasok ang mga lokal na higante sa yugto ng consolidation
