B2C E-Commerce in 2012. The most used payment method was credit card, accounting for over a half of all transactions in 2012. With regard to delivery, a majority of shoppers in Mexico would add items to their cart in order to qualify for free delivery. Mexican shoppers are the most engaged in MCommerce of all Latin American countries. In Argentina B2C E-Commerce sales also grew by a double-digit percentage point in 2012, with still more growth to come. Online shopper penetration on Internet users, already the highest in the region, is still increasing, expected to account for almost a half of Internet users by 2016. The trend toward E-Commerce acceptance and use continues in other markets of the region. In Chile, both online shopper penetration and frequency of online shopping increased in 2012, while MCommerce was yet to catch on. In Colombia, one of the factors spurring B2C E-Commerce is increasing trust of customers to online payment methods and widening banking coverage. Colombian B2C E-Commerce market is dominated by foreign players, accounting for over a half of the sales in 2012, but local firms are projected to expand. In Ecuador B2C E-Commerce is not yet spread due to low Internet penetration, which is, however, gradually changing, as more people gained access to the web, increasingly so via mobile devices. In Paraguay, most of the relatively small B2C E-Commerce sales were generated in foreign online shops in 2012. Internet penetration is still relatively low in Paraguay also, but is growing every year. In Peru, wider credit card and Internet penetration can boost B2C E-Commerce, which in 2012 was dominated by foreign retailers. As one of the best faring countries in the region, Uruguay has a great potential for B2C E-Commerce, already driven by the trend of mobile device use. The number of mobile Internet subscriptions has grown by a half every year since 2010. Improvement in the quality of online retailer offerings and logistics are thus needed to boost sales further. Finally, the yStats.com report points to development of an online payment system and new regulations regarding online payments in Venezuela, which, along with the increasing Internet penetration are expected to positively affect E-Commerce in 2013 and stimulate growth.
