Most funded Latin American online supermarkets 2022

As of December 2022, Jüsto – Mexico's first delivery-only grocery store – was the most funded online supermarket with headquarters in Latin America, having attracted investments of approximately 244 million U.S. dollars. Second ranked was Brazilian-based Shopper, which after raising more than 60 million in a Series C round in December of 2021, amounted to about 107 million dollars.The new age of convenienceOnline grocery shopping is a relatively new habit in Mexico. However, its development and adoption have grown rapidly, particularly after the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, which acted as a catalyst to get this trend off the ground. Since late March of that year, following the government's decision to impose movement restrictions to help contain the pandemic, visits to online grocery stores spiked, reaching a peak in the month of June. Nevertheless, remote purchasing of groceries may now be part of the "new normal" for Mexicans. In addition to maintaining a high level of visits to websites offering this service, the share of shoppers switching to grocery delivery also multiplied during the health emergency. Food delivery, another rising starIn 2021, online food delivery revenues in Latin America were estimated at around 5.4 billion U.S. dollars, up more than 21 percent from the previous year. Brazil accounted for nearly half of the region's online food delivery market, and was followed distantly by Mexico and Colombia, respectively. Just like e-grocers, online food delivery companies of Latin American origin have also received large funds for their development over the past years. While Colombian unicorn Rappi received more than two billion U.S. dollars in funding between 2016 and 2022, Brazilian platform iFood has raised nearly 592 million dollars since 2011, over seven investment rounds.

截至2022年12月，Jüsto——墨西哥首家专注于配送的杂货店——已成为拉丁美洲总部所在地资金最雄厚的在线超市，吸引了约2.44亿美元的注资。紧随其后的是巴西的Shopper，该公司在2021年12月完成C轮融资，筹集超过6000万美元，累计资金约为1.07亿美元。便利新时代的来临在线杂货购物在墨西哥尚属新兴习惯。然而，其发展和普及速度之快令人瞩目，特别是在2020年COVID-19疫情爆发后，疫情成为了推动这一趋势蓬勃发展的催化剂。自当年3月下旬以来，随着政府决定实施出行限制以协助控制疫情，对在线杂货店的访问量激增，并在6月份达到峰值。尽管如此，对于墨西哥人而言，远程购买杂货可能已成为“新常态”的一部分。除了保持对提供该服务网站的高访问量外，在健康紧急期间，转向杂货配送的购物者比例也成倍增长。食品配送，另一颗冉冉升起的新星2021年，拉丁美洲在线食品配送收入估计约为54亿美元，较上年增长超过21%。巴西占据了该地区在线食品配送市场的一半以上，墨西哥和哥伦比亚紧随其后。与电子杂货店一样，拉丁美洲起源的在线食品配送公司在过去几年中也获得了大量资金用于发展。哥伦比亚独角兽公司Rappi在2016年至2022年期间获得了超过20亿美元的融资，而巴西平台iFood自2011年以来已通过七轮融资筹集了近5.92亿美元。
