MERCADO LIBRE ECOSYSTEM IN MEXICO

An ecosystem thatmoves an economy

MXN$106.4B

The Mercado Libre ecosystem contributed MXN$106.4 billion to Mexico's economy in 2025, 0.4% of GDP

The Mercado Libre ecosystem is a real force in Mexico's economy, made up of millions of people, suppliers, and SMEs operating on the platform.

An ecosystem where every part matters as much as the whole.

For every dollar of direct value added, an additional 2.3 dollars are generated in the value chains that Mercado Libre activates across the financial system, transportation and logistics, commerce, and professional services.

E-commerce is a fundamental part of everyday life in Mexico. The ecosystem connects commerce, payments, credit, and logistics within a single network. That connection means the impact goes beyond Mercado Libre's own operations: it extends to its suppliers, to the SMEs that sell on the platform, and to the jobs generated by all of that activity.
