Mexico is Latin America’s second-biggest online market. WhatsApp is simply how people talk, Mercado Libre and Mercado Pago handle buying and paying, and corner-store chains like OXXO quietly provide the cash layer underneath it all.
Around 83.3%. With a population of about 132 million and 110 million online, roughly 22 million people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
