In recent years, Mexico has grown from an emerging player to an e-commerce superpower, and it has only just begun.
With its strategic trade agreements, booming digital consumer base and low operating costs, Mexico is the ideal location for companies looking to expand in Latin America or streamline their operations closer to the US market. If you're thinking about entering e-commerce or expanding your fulfillment operations - there's no better time than now.
1. Mexico: The #2 e-commerce market in America
You read that right. Mexico is now the second largest e-commerce market in the Americas, behind only the U.S. And what's more impressive? It is growing at a rate of more than 20% per year.
According to AMVO (Asociación Mexicana de Venta Online), the e-commerce market in Mexico:
- Reached over $31 billion by 2023
- Double-digit growth for the sixth consecutive year
- It continues to expand in fashion, electronics, food and beauty.
This massive digital shift is driven by a young and tech-savvy population, increased smartphone penetration and better access to digital payment options, including financial technology applications and "buy now, pay later" solutions.
2. Mexico's Global Advantage: Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)
Mexico has 13 FTAs with more than 50 countries, including:
- USMCA (United States and Canada)
- EU-Mexico Trade Agreement
- Pacific Alliance - Japan, Chile, Israel, and more.
This means:
- Faster and cheaper exports and imports
- No or low tariffs for many products
- Streamlining customs processes for B2B and B2C shipments.
For global brands and cross-border e-commerce vendors, Mexico offers a unique bridge between Latin America, North America and even Europe/Asia.
