In 2026, an increasing number of European and American sellers who were doing well on Amazon and eBay began to view Meitiao as their “second growth curve.”

It’s not that “we’re turning to Latin America because we can’t make it work in Europe and the U.S. anymore,” but rather that “Latin America’s traffic cost structure and growth potential make it worth proactively expanding into.”

01 The “Three Highs” Dilemma Facing E-commerce in Europe and the U.S.

On Amazon U.S., sellers are facing three major challenges:

• Soaring Advertising Costs: CPC (cost per click) has been rising year after year, and the same budget is buying less and less traffic.
• Saturated Competition: In popular product categories, hundreds or even thousands of listings are competing for the same keyword, and the cost of maintaining rankings is getting higher and higher.
• Shrinking profit margins: Price wars + advertising costs + platform commissions have squeezed the net profit margin from 15%–20% to 5%–10%.

In this environment, forward-thinking sellers are beginning to ask: Is there a market where competition isn’t as fierce and traffic costs haven’t been driven through the roof?

02 Meikeduo’s Traffic Logic: Low Prices + Concentration + Growth

Compared to Hemeike, Meike’s traffic has three characteristics:

Feature 1: Cheaper Data

Ad bid prices on Meitiao are significantly lower than those on Amazon US. For the same product categories, the CPC may be only one-third to one-fifth of Amazon’s. It’s not that “Meitiao has less traffic,” but rather that “you can get more traffic on Meitiao for the same budget.”

Feature 2: More Concentrated Traffic

Mercado Libre holds over 60% of the Mexican market share, making it the undisputed leader. Unlike the European and American markets, where market share is fragmented among Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, focusing on Mercado Libre alone is sufficient for e-commerce in Mexico.

Feature 3: Traffic Is Growing

E-commerce penetration in Mexico continues to rise rapidly, with a large number of new users making their first online purchases each year. These “new users” have not yet developed fixed shopping habits or brand preferences—whoever enters the market first will have a first-mover advantage.

03 It’s Not About “Fleeing Europe and the U.S.,” but Rather “Expanding into Latin America”

Smart sellers won’t give up on the European and American markets; instead, they’ll treat Europe and the U.S. as their “core market” and Latin America as their “growth market.”

• Supply Chain Reuse: Product and supply chain capabilities that have been proven in Europe and the U.S. can be directly applied to Meike Duo, with extremely low marginal costs.
• Complementary Profits: Europe and the U.S. rely on high-volume, low-margin sales to maintain cash flow, while Latin America’s high-margin operations drive net income growth.
• Risk Hedging: Over-reliance on a single market is the greatest risk; a multi-market strategy helps diversify policy risks.

04 Now Is the Best Time to Enter the Latin American Market

The window of opportunity for e-commerce in Latin America won’t remain open indefinitely. As more sellers enter the market, traffic acquisition costs will gradually align with those in Europe and the United States, and compliance requirements will continue to rise.

If you enter the market now, you’ll be facing a “growing market + low-cost traffic + first-mover advantage.” If you wait another two years, you’ll be facing a “mature market + high-cost traffic + latecomer disadvantage.”

It’s not a question of “whether to do it,” but “when to start.”
