MERCADO LIBRE ECOSYSTEM IN CHILE
An ecosystem thatmoves an economy
US$698
million was contributed by the Mercado Libre ecosystem to Chile's economy in 2025, 0.25% of GDP
The Mercado Libre ecosystem is a real force in Chile's economy, made up of thousands of people, suppliers, and SMEs operating within it.
An ecosystem where every part strengthens the whole.
For every dollar Mercado Libre adds directly to the economy, another US$1.20 is generated across the value chains it activates: the financial system, transportation and logistics, commerce, and professional services.
E-commerce is a fundamental part of Chileans' 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 operation: it extends to its suppliers, to the SMEs that sell on the platform, and to the jobs that all of that activity generates.
