Shopee increases capacity by 60% in one year and awaits Anvisa for medicine sales

Shopee, an e-commerce platform, has opened four new distribution centers in Brazil, increasing its order processing capacity by 60% in the last year. This expansion brings the total number of distribution centers in Brazil to 12, with the new units located in the states of Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais.

The expansion is part of Shopee's strategy to improve delivery time and quality of service to its customers. Additionally, Shopee awaits approval from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to start selling medicines on its platform, which would further expand its product offerings in the Brazilian market and enhance its position in the social commerce landscape.
