U.S. sellers nearly tripled their share of international sales on Mercado Livre in Brazil over a 16-month period. The growth was identified by analytics platform JoomPulse, which uses artificial intelligence to monitor e-commerce data.

According to the survey, cross-border GMV — the indicator that measures the total value of foreign product sales — rose from 8.7% in April 2025 to 25.9% in August of this year. This represents a significant jump in the market share occupied by American sellers on the Brazilian platform.

Portuguese are worried about the economy (and want a home with more storage for "refuge")

According to Ikea's "Life at Home Report 2026" study, 47% of Portuguese point to the economy as their main concern, above family income and health. The home is increasingly seen as a refuge of stability and comfort, but almost everyone feels they need more storage spaces — a cross-cutting complaint both for those with small and large homes. Ikea's response to this need was to lower the prices of organization items. The study also reveals that 35% of Portuguese consider wardrobes the most difficult area to manage at home, 37% waste time looking for objects, and 93% apply sustainability measures at home.
