Mexican firms will likely sell 70 percent more goods and services over the Internet this year, mostly to people buying plane tickets and computers, experts predicted on Tuesday.
This year's expected brisk growth follows a 78 percent surge in Mexican e-commerce sales in 2007 to 955 million dollars, the country's Internet association said at a news conference.
Less than a quarter of Mexico's population of 107 million surfs the Internet, and of those users only about one in 10 buys products and services online, according to a study by the association.
E-commerce sales in the United States last year, covering more than 12,000 retailers but not including travel services, exceeded 120 billion dollars.
