Shopee’s operational strategy and focus in the Brazilian market

As the largest country in South America, Brazil not only occupies nearly half of the continent’s land area, but also supports a population of 210 million, which is close to the total population of Indonesia, the largest market in Southeast Asia. With its vast territory and abundant labor resources, Brazil has become the world’s eighth largest economy and has the largest online retail market in Latin America, accounting for more than 40% of the region’s B2C e-commerce market share. For Brazilians, cross-border shopping has become a part of daily life. According to surveys, 7 out of 10 Brazilian consumers have purchased goods from China online. Brazil’s Internet development speed is eye-catching. In 2019, the Internet penetration rate reached 71%, the number of Internet users reached 150.4 million, and the average person spends more than 9 hours online every day, ranking among the top in the world. In addition, Brazil has 140 million social media users.
