April 8, 2016

A new study reveals Brazil's consumers are tapping mobile devices much more frequently when it comes to purchase and that's driving ecommerce activity.

Mobile phones are beating tablets when it comes to mobile online purchases, according to a report from E-bit Informacao. The mobile device ecommerce share hit 14.3 percent in December 2015 compared to 10.1 percent the previous June. That's a robust increase as m-commerce grew just 1 percent from December 2014 to June 2015.
