Significant Growth of Online Retailing and E-Commerce

The expansion of e-commerce and online shopping is a key determinant of the market growth in Latin America. According to industry reports, the region accommodates an estimated 300 million digital shoppers, a number anticipated to expand by an exceptional 44% by the year 2029.
