This week on the Konvoy Newsletter audio edition, host Jackson Vaughan unpacks the rise of the local gig economy in Latin America — from the early ride-hailing boom to today’s delivery platforms, migration-driven labor shifts, and the next wave of platform opportunities. Over the past decade, the region has seen explosive growth in ride-sharing, food delivery, and last-mile logistics, with players like Uber, Rappi, iFood, and Didi reshaping urban economies. Now, with immigration fueling worker supply and consumers demanding faster, cheaper services, the LatAm gig economy is evolving into a durable and recession-resilient force.
Looking ahead, the biggest opportunities may not just be in ride-hailing or delivery, but in new service categories and supporting businesses designed for the unique needs of LatAm gig workers.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Whether you’re tracking consumer adoption, exploring emerging platforms, or evaluating the supporting ecosystem, this episode offers a deep dive into the forces shaping LatAm’s gig economy — and where the next wave of growth may come from.
