KaBuM!, the technology and games e-commerce company, is increasingly consolidating its marketplace as an important growth engine for the company. In just five years, the operation has already accounted for more than 20% of turnover, and is expected to exceed 1 billion reais in sales by 2025.
Since its launch in 2020, the number of sellers has grown by more than 420%, accompanied by an expansion of offers that exceed 240,000 items available on the platform. This growth reflects not only the strength of the digital ecosystem, but also the consolidation of a niche marketplace that connects brands and retailers directly to a highly qualified and engaged audience.
"The marketplace is a key part of our growth strategy, as it expands our portfolio, strengthens our brand and brings us even closer to the gamer and tech community," says Fábio Gabaldo, KaBuM!'s business director. "By connecting sellers of different profiles with an audience that is passionate about technology, we guarantee a unique and relevant experience for everyone involved."
Niche marketplaces: a growing trend
Niche marketplaces have stood out globally for offering more personalized experiences for both sellers and consumers. Unlike generalist platforms, these environments bring together a specific audience with high purchasing intent and trust in the brands that make up the ecosystem. In the technology and games sector, this movement is gaining even more momentum: it is a booming market, driven by the growth of the gamer audience, which now exceeds 3.7 billion people worldwide, according to Newzoo, and by the growing interest in high-performance equipment, peripherals, digital services and solutions aimed at content creators.
