Mexican Express Empowers Hot Sale Festival: The Logistics Code Behind Sellers’ 15-Fold Annual Sales Surge

1. National Shopping Carnival

As one of the world’s top 15 economies, Mexico boasts an internet penetration rate of over 86%, with e-commerce growth leading Latin America. The e-commerce market is projected to exceed $45 billion by 2025. The Hot Sale Festival, a daily traffic-generating event in Mexico, is the largest e-commerce shopping carnival in the first half of the year and a key breakthrough for cross-border sellers to tap into the young consumer market.
Sponsored by the Mexican Online Sales Association, the Hot Sale Festival has become one of the most important e-commerce shopping festivals in Mexico since its launch in 2014. During the 2024 festival, the number of orders reached 14.4 million, and the transaction volume reached 34.539 billion pesos (approximately $1.7 billion)[1]. Amazon data shows that the number of participants exceeded 12.5 million last year, with an average daily visit volume of 29.6 million to related e-commerce websites, and seller sales increased by up to 15 times.

2. Key Insights

• Surge in Omnichannel Shopping Demand
  A Google Hot Sale: Customer Survey report shows that consumers shop through mobile websites, physical stores, digital applications, computers, social networks, etc., with a significant trend of multi-terminal shopping.
• Cost-effectiveness Drives Consumption Decisions
  Ninety percent of consumers say they will try new brands or stores in pursuit of cost-effectiveness, and making shopping plans in advance and asking for more discounts has become the mainstream.
• Installment Payments Boost Average Order Value
  On the first day of the 2024 Hot Sale Festival, more than 45% of orders on Mercado Libre used interest-free installment payments, with a peak of 1.2 million transactions in a single day. Installment tools significantly lower the consumption threshold.

3. Inventory of Hot-selling Categories on Platforms

The 2025 Hot Sale Festival on Amazon Mexico is scheduled to be held from May 26 to June 3, and the FBA warehousing deadline is May 10. Sellers need to stock up in advance to ensure inventory. During last year’s Hot Sale Festival on Mercado Libre Mexico, the sales volume exceeded $670 million, and the sales volume on the first day increased by 44% year-on-year. Chinese sellers performed well in categories such as small household appliances, sportswear, and pet supplies.
Data from the Mexican e-commerce association shows that the top three hot-selling categories in 2024 were fashion, beauty and personal care, electronics, and small household appliances. In addition, June is just after the Hot Sale Festival, and the demand for seasonal products such as swimwear, outdoor equipment, and mini household appliances will explode. Consumers often purchase summer supplies in advance.
