U.S. Engagement in Uruguay: Growth of Streaming and eCommerce During the Pandemic

Netflix was the first to arrive in Uruguay in 2011, followed by Amazon Prime in 2016 and Apple TV+ in 2017. In large part, the rapid growth of the audiovisual sector and eCommerce in Uruguay during Covid19 reflects a years-long public policy committed to the growth of Uruguayan hi-skilled exports to the U.S.
