R$73.1B
The Mercado Libre ecosystem contributed R$73.1 billion to Brazil's economy in 2025, 0.7% of GDP
The Mercado Libre ecosystem is a real force in Brazil's economy, made up of millions of people, suppliers, and SMBs operating on the platform.
An ecosystem where every part matters as much as the whole.
For every dollar of direct added value, another $1.40 is generated across the value chains Mercado Libre activates in the financial system, transportation, logistics, commerce, and professional services.
E-commerce is a fundamental part of Brazilians' daily routine. The ecosystem connects commerce, payments, credit, and logistics in a single network. That connection means the impact goes beyond Mercado Libre's own operations: it extends to its suppliers, the SMBs selling on the platform, and the jobs generated by all that activity.
