It’s the start of the school year in Peru, and these products are the best-selling ones!

The South American country of Peru also welcomed its twice-a-year "back to school drama" on Monday, March 15. Whether the children like it or not, the days of staying in bed until 1 p.m. every day have come to an end.

It is natural to prepare school supplies when school starts, but this year the Peruvian government has decided to let everyone "watch TV" and take online classes at home . The proportion of Peruvian families with children taking online classes is 37%, so products related to remote online teaching are the most popular, and the sales of such products on Meikeduo, the leading e-commerce platform in Latin America, have increased by 40%.

However, although it is school supplies, the purchasing group is mostly consumers aged between 20 and 45 , and most consumers choose to search through mobile phones , accounting for 75%, and the remaining 25% search for products through computers. In addition, they prefer to pay by credit and debit cards.

According to Pedro White, general manager of Mercado Libre, the products with the highest sales on the platform in 2021 are:

1. Laptops. Laptops are one of the essential tools for students to receive remote online teaching and help schools to smoothly carry out remote teaching. There are many laptop brands on the Meikeduo platform, including Lenovo, HP, Huawei and Asus. The hot sales of the above laptops will inevitably lead to the hot sales of peripheral products such as mice, mouse pads, stickers and chargers.

2. Desks. Students will definitely need a dedicated study space during remote learning, so sales of traditional desks and folding tables have increased in recent weeks and have become one of the best-selling products during the school season.

3. Headphones. Noise-isolating headphones are not only suitable for people working from home, but also for students who want to study without being disturbed, so they have become a popular product this season.

4. Printer. In order to facilitate the printing of materials, printers have also become a hot-selling product of Meikeduo, such as multi-functional printers such as laser printing and inkjet printing. Consumers' choices depend on their specific usage needs.

In addition to the above products, the sales of commonly used school supplies such as pens, erasers, pencil cases, notebooks, etc. will definitely increase. Moreover, as countries around the world have entered the school season in recent months, the market sales scope of such products is also very wide. And if the epidemic situation in Peru eases in the later period and the domestic blockade is lifted, the sales of products such as school bags are expected to pick up.

Interested sellers may wish to pay more attention and seize the boom in orders during the back-to-school season!
