Brazil Last-Mile Delivery Market

Brazil Last-Mile Delivery Market Overview:

The Brazil last-mile delivery market size reached USD 4.30 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 16.30 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 16.10% during 2025-2033. The rapid growth of e-commerce, elevating customer need for rapid and convenient delivery options, innovations in technology, like route optimization and tracking systems, rapid urbanization, growing middle-class population, rising partnerships with local delivery services, and increasing investment in infrastructure are some of the major factors propelling the market growth in Brazil.

Brazil Last-Mile Delivery Market Trends:

Growing E-commerce Sector

The increasing expansion of e-commerce in Brazil has significantly increased the demand for last-mile delivery services. According to the data from the International Trade Association, Brazil has emerged as Latin America’s largest economy and continues to witness bolstered e-commerce growth of 14.3%. As per the Brazilian Electronic Commerce Association, Brazil’s retail e-commerce increased to USD 34.5 billion in 2023 from USD 12.25 Billion in 2018, whereas the average order boosted in the same period to 470 from 435 reais. As more customers shop online, the need for effective and timely deliveries has become crucial, prompting logistics companies to enhance their last-mile capabilities. This, in turn, is expected to create a positive outlook for the market across the country. In addition, enhanced digital payment systems, robust internet penetration, and proliferating mobile commerce further aid the market’s steady growth. With more enterprises opting for omnichannel retail tactics, requirement for effective logistics services is anticipated to fuel further.

Rapid Urbanization and Changing Consumer Expectations

As urbanization accelerates, consumers expect faster and more convenient delivery options. This shift in consumer behavior drives companies to adopt innovative delivery solutions, such as same-day or next-day delivery services, to meet these heightened expectations and remain competitive in the market. For instance, in June 2023, DHL Supply Chain, a global logistics company, announced the launch of a new service in Brazil aimed at supporting the growth of logistics for online retailers, marketplaces, and industries. The service is called DHL Fulfillment Network (DFN), and it is a multiclient warehouse located in Barueri (SP) that provides access to DHL Supply Chain's e-commerce infrastructure in Brazil, consisting of 13 fulfillment centers, 6.5 thousand employees, 55 transportation hubs, and 800 vehicles. According to the company, the DFN structure can provide next-day nationwide delivery, as well as offer agility and operational flexibility to all clients. This innovation is part of an investment of R$ 800 million (around 159 million dollars) announced by the company in Brazil until 2025. As urban centers become more congested, logistics providers are also focusing on micro-fulfillment centers and alternative delivery models to optimize efficiency. Furthermore, increasing consumer preference for sustainable and green delivery solutions is prompting investments in electric vehicles and eco-friendly logistics infrastructure.
