The year 2025 emerges as a promising scenario for Brazilian e-commerce. According to the Brazilian Association of Electronic Commerce (ABComm), the growth projection for the sector is 10% compared to 2024, achieving a revenue of R$ 224,7 billion this year. For Elton Matos, co-founder and CEO of Airlocker, first Brazilian franchise of smart lockers, the change in consumption habits, with more Brazilians embracing online shopping, a range of opportunities arises for companies looking to expand their operations.
As digital consumption grows, the need to invest in innovative solutions to solve logistical challenges is also increasing, especially regarding product deliveries. The possibility of the delivery person showing up at a time when there is no one to receive it or leaving the package in an unsafe location, are increasingly frequent concerns among consumers, reveals the CEO
According to research conducted by Octadesk and Opinion Box, 77% of the more than 2,000 respondents stated that they made purchases online throughout 2024. Considering the potential of the context, companies that work with alternatives that bring more security and practicality to consumers' daily lives are well positioned to stand out as a promising trend in the market, as is the case with smart cabinets. These devices, increasingly common in urban areas, offer an efficient and convenient way for deliveries to be made more safely, allowing consumers to pick up their orders at flexible times, in addition to providing greater control over purchasing and solving logistical problems
The businessman claims that technology has ceased to be just a differentiator and has become an essential element in the daily routine of the population. Airlocker is a reflection of new consumption habits, acting in the final stage of the logistics chain, in what we call ‘last mile’, a kind of intermediary between distribution centers and the final consumer. In the last two years, we grew 200% and, currently, there are about three thousand goods delivered through our 'smart lockers’”, Elton account.
