Chile Consumer Goods and Retail Sector Report 2018/2019

Chile is a relatively small economy – the 41st largest in the world and the fifth-biggest in Latin America in 2017, according to the World Bank. However, its retail sector is well developed, mature and sophisticated, and in many aspects on par with those of developed countries. In recent years, trade has emerged as one of the major contributors to economic growth, with GVA growing at a CAGR of 2.6% in 2013-2017 and outperforming the 1.7% CAGR of the overall economy. Trade had a share of 9.2% of GDP in 2017 and was also responsible for 9.3% of the formal employment and for 24.3% of the active enterprises in the country at end-2017. Department stores, supermarkets and shopping centres are the major retail channels, in all cases featuring high levels of concentration. However, between 2012 and 2017, e-commerce was the most dynamic channel, with a more than fourfold increase in sales.
