There are 1 billion people living in the Americas, traversing a distance of 9,000 miles from Vancouver, Canada, to Ushuaia at the tip of Argentina. The USA is a top export destination for all international brands, boosted by 500+ chains, broad assortments, and consumers with purchasing power. There is big business in the Americas beyond the USA and Canada. Mexico was a top global performer in 2024 for most USA export brands. Puerto Rico is a core market, with most mainland companies achieving higher volumes there than larger countries like the UK, Germany, UAE, or Japan. South America has struggled, with disappointing trends. However, 2025 looks like a positive entry window in advance of a recovery.
