Supply chain crisis is expanding the gift card market's growth in Mexico

The global pandemic has accelerated the adoption of e-commerce platforms in Mexico over the last four to eight quarters. According to the publisher, the domestic e-commerce market valued more than US$16 billion in 2021. As more and more shoppers continue to buy products and services online, retailers are looking to capitalize on the rising e-commerce trend to offer gift cards and attract new customers in Mexico.
