MercadoLibre plans to significantly expand its logistics infrastructure in Chile during 2026 and 2027, increasing warehouse and distribution space from 140,000 square meters to more than 450,000. The investment includes a third fulfillment center in the Santiago metropolitan area, expansions of existing facilities and five new last-mile centers.
The third 50,000-square-meter center is planned for northern Santiago in 2027, while five last-mile facilities will add another 90,000 square meters. The company also plans to expand regional logistics capacity by 174%, from 40,000 to more than 110,000 square meters across 14 cities from Antofagasta to Puerto Montt.
MercadoLibre expects the expansion to create more than 2,500 jobs and improve delivery times. The company currently delivers more than 1 million packages per week in Chile, with 55% arriving within 24 hours and more than 80% within 48 hours.
