Supply Chain Opportunities, Challenges and Best Practices for the Latin American Market

In terms of trade and economy, the Latin American region is growing at a rapid pace. China, USA, India, Brazil and Mexico will be the biggest economies of the world by 2050. Both Mexico and Brazil are in Latin America and are geographically and culturally closer to USA. With the Latin American region growing in economic might, many multinational companies are entering the region to cater to the increasingly wealthy populace. The prospects are real good and the market is too big to ignore-Latin America contains over 40 countries and 6000 hundred million people. This market is growing faster than other mature markets in North America and Europe.

Additionally, companies want to leverage the expertise and cost savings that Latin American supply chains offer. The quality and sophistication in many Latin American countries are considered world class and their costs are still relatively inexpensive. Moreover, the Latin American region has strong trade ties with Europe, Asia and the United States. The region does have some challenges when it comes to trade and supply chains since it is made up of over 40 countries that have different people, languages, cultures, currencies and regulations. Varying needs of the diverse populace means that “one-size-fit-all” solutions often don't work here. Some countries in the region also face challenges in infrastructure, political stability and supply chain resiliency.

Many companies have failed when entering this important market because they didn't understand the intricacies and uniqueness of the Latin American region. Your company doesn't have to be the one among them.
