    Dlocal Total Payment Volume Rises 92% Despite 61% Top-10 Merchant Concentration

    Question

    Dlocal Total Payment Volume Rises 92% Despite 61% Top-10 Merchant Concentration

    Direct answer

    Emerging markets payment processor Dlocal delivered a 92% year-over-year surge in total payment volume and maintained a 153% net revenue retention rate, driven by global tech platform expansions across Latin America and Africa. However, high customer concentration with the top 10 merchants generating 61% of revenue has intensified pricing pressure, driving gross margins down from previous 53% peaks as tier-one merchants negotiate volume discounts.
