Global companies selling with EBANX in Peru
Peru ranks ahead of the United States and Canada in UN's Global Digitalization Index
Peru does not tend to be the first name that comes to mind when we think about cross-border sales in Latin America. Maybe for a short time. In 2022, the country 34 million people call home was ranked as one of the 11 countries highlighted by the United Nations Digital Government Development Index due to the sustained growth of its digitalization in international indicators.
With a robust digital backbone, Peruvian e-commerce is expected to grow 21% annually through 2025, with penetration rising from 45% in 2020 to 58% in 2022.
+133% in 2022: cross-border e-commerce sales in Peru have more than doubled since 2020.
Debit versus credit: debit cards have surpassed international credit cards as the favorite payment method for Peruvians when buying online.
37% are APMs: alternative payment methods account for 37% of all e-commerce payments in Peru, slightly lower than LatAm's share of 39%.
+55% YoY growth: locals in Peru would use their mobile devices (58.6%) over desktop (41.4%) for online shopping.
58% growth rate: cross-border sales have grown faster than domestic sales in Peru, 58% x 46% YoY, respectively, in 2022.
