CEP market is growing despite devaluation of Chilean peso

• Till 2022, both domestic and international CEP markets experienced consistent growth, unaffected by various economic conditions. In June 2022, the Chilean peso underwent significant devaluation due to escalating consumer prices, leading to an inflation rate increase of approximately 12.5%. Responding to this, the Central Bank raised interest rates to a historic peak of 9.75% in July 2022. Despite these economic challenges, compounded by the lingering effects of the pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the CEP market as a whole saw modest yet stable growth in 2022.
• Major e-commerce end users drove the demand for the CEP market in 2022. Electronics, toys, hobby & DIY, and fashion goods also generated significant CEP delivery demand in 2022. The largest player in the Chilean e-commerce market was paris.cl, with a revenue of USD 1.23 billion in 2022. It was followed by falabella.com and ripley.cl as the second and third-largest stores, with USD 1.12 billion and USD 628.1 million, respectively. Collectively, the top three stores account for 45.9% of the top 100 online stores' revenue in Chile. With e-commerce user penetration projected to reach 69.4% by 2027, the CEP market is expected to grow further.

Recovering transport and storage GDP with future growth prospects supported by government infrastructure plans

• In May 2024, Chile's Ministry of Public Works (MOPW) outlined a plan for all government tenders from 2024 to 2028. The plan includes 43 projects worth a total of USD USD 17.6 billion. The main focus is on 24 projects set to be completed by March 2026, costing nearly USD USD 15.6 billion, about 4% of Chile’s GDP.

The largest project is a USD USD 3.8 billion railway development in Santiago.
• The "Chile Over Rails"initiative encompasses a comprehensive plan comprising 27 projects to be implemented by 2027, with a combined investment of USD 5 billion.

• In April 2024, Chile announced plans to begin producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at a large-scale plant by 2030, aiming to meet half of its aviation fuel needs with SAF by 2050. The fuel will be made from oils, fats, and biological and municipal waste. With air traffic expected to double by 2040, SAF is crucial for Chile to achieve its decarbonization goals.
