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

    Question

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

    Direct answer

    Dlocal demonstrated substantial emerging-market payment volume acceleration, delivering 92% year-over-year Total Payment Volume expansion and a net revenue retention rate of 153%. The metrics confirm continued demand from global enterprise merchants expanding localized checkout capabilities across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. However, structural margin compression from prior 53% gross margins highlights competitive pricing pressure and shifting merchant mix. With 61% of total revenues concentrated among its top 10 enterprise clients, DLO remains vulnerable to volume renegotiations or platform diversification by key merchants including Amazon, Uber, and MercadoLibre.
