Key Takeaways

Actowiz built a market-entry intelligence dataset on Mercado Libre for the Kids & Youth Footwear category across LATAM — Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and more. It covered market size, estimated monthly and annual sales volumes and revenues, historical trends and seasonality, breakdowns by country and subcategory, top products, brands and their estimated market shares, top sellers and Official Stores, average selling prices, active listings, market concentration, search demand, and discounting — with countries comparable in one delivery. Delivered as Excel/CSV plus a dashboard and custom API with SKU-level historical tracking, it gave the brand a defensible business case for entering the market.

What did the client need?

The client is an international footwear brand evaluating expansion into LATAM via Mercado Libre. Before entering, they needed a comprehensive market and competitive analysis for the Kids & Youth Footwear segment — across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and other markets.

They needed market size, sales volumes and revenues, historical data and seasonality, breakdowns by country and subcategory, top products, brands and market shares, top sellers, pricing, active listings, concentration, search demand, and marketplace costs — comparable across countries and exportable, to build a market-entry business case.

What made this hard?

Breadth of metrics. Dozens of metrics — from market size to margins to marketplace costs — had to be assembled into one coherent dataset.
Multi-country comparability. Five-plus countries had to be analysed and compared within a single delivery.
Estimated sales & share. Sales volumes, revenues, and market shares had to be estimated from public marketplace signals.
Historical depth. Historical sales data and seasonality required tracking over an extended period.
Enterprise, non-seller access. The client is not yet an active Mercado Libre seller, so the solution had to work without seller access.

How did Actowiz solve it?

Actowiz built a category-scoped Mercado Libre intelligence pipeline across LATAM, estimating sales and share from public marketplace signals and delivering comparable, exportable outputs.
