Economic stability continues to drive growth in retailing

In the last decade, the Bolivian economy saw average annual growth rates of close to 5%, being one of the economies in the region enjoying constant growth. One of the most significant effects of this growth was the expansion of the middle class, which strengthened its purchasing power.

Supermarkets expanding over traditional channel coverage areas

Historically, traditional retailers have represented the most important channel within retailing in terms of sales value, in an economy in which a large part of the population still has budget constraints and seeks the lowest possible prices, for purchases of low volume and immediate consumption.

Direct selling shows great dynamism with social connotations

Bolivia still shows challenges in its labour market, as significant numbers of its population find it difficult to obtain a formal job. This phenomenon is especially seen amongst women that in many cases are still responsible for raising children and performing domestic chores, further limiting their opportunities in the labour market.

Illegal market affects growth potential of several retailing channels

The Confederation of Private Employers of Bolivia (CEPB) estimates that the effect of contraband in Bolivia has reached close to 8% of GDP; it was equivalent to 26% of the total value of legal imports. A large portion of retailing sales are from imported products.

E-commerce growing in Bolivia despite low financial card penetration and digital divide

Bolivia is still a market with great challenges ahead before the masses will use e-commerce as a retailing channel option. One challenge is the low penetration of credit and debit cardholders.
