Overview

• Mercado Libre formally rolled out its wholesale marketplace in Argentina after pilots in Mexico and Chile, with Brazil identified as the next launch market.
• Participation requires a business tax ID or a converted corporate account, which formalizes purchases and guarantees compliant invoices.
• Argentina lists 2.6 million products from roughly 10,000 sellers, and the company reports more than 500,000 local users have already made purchases.
• The company cites more than 4 million enabled B2B users across Latin America and advertises discounts of up to 50% versus retail prices.
• The expansion ties into a $2.6 billion investment program in Argentina, including new hubs at Mercado Central and Tres de Febrero, alongside a planned CEO transition to Ariel Szarfsztejn in January.
