The trillion dollar global sharing economy market

Expected to reach USD 1.5 trillion in 2024

Growing at a CAGR of 31.9% for the forecast period of 2019 to 2024

Source: BCC Research - 2020

The shared economy (or gig economy) is booming worldwide, including in Latin America and Africa. The Latin American ride-hailing and food delivery market, for example, is expected to reach USD 10.2 billion by the end of 2022 and increase more than 22% compared to 2021, according to AMI. 


There are, however, some challenges to increase sales and attract and retain high performance contractors. Visa conducted a survey with 2,326 gig workers from several countries in Latin America, Europe, North America, and Asia, and found that 46% of the respondents would like to get paid faster, while 77% said that there are times when they urgently needed their money. Also, 9 out of 10 respondents are likely to sign up for instant payments.

  • Streamlining reconciliation payments
