Alexandre Crivelaro , director of market intelligence at ABComm, said factors affecting e-commerce growth in Brazil revolved around increased shipping costs and increased demand for online shopping. Although Brazil's e-commerce sales increased in the first half of the year, consumer confidence was low against the backdrop of a sluggish economy and high inflation. For retailers and online sellers, they are also facing rising transportation costs. This increase in operating costs is bound to be passed on to consumers, which will undoubtedly increase the consumption costs of buyers.
