Even then, e-commerce will represent just 25% of total retail spending, leaving plenty of room for future growth. That creates a significant opportunity for investors.\nWith that in mind,MercadoLibre(NASDAQ:MELI) and Shopify(NYSE:SHOP) have become key players in the e-commerce industry. Both businesses benefit from strong competitive positions, and I think both stocks could grow fourfold over the next decade, a pace that would turn $250,000 into $1 million.\nHere's what you should know.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\n1. MercadoLibre\nMercadoLibre is the largest e-commerce and fintech platform in Latin America. The company operates across 18 countries, and in each region its marketplace is the leader in terms of unique visitors and page views. To reinforce that advantage, it offers a number of value-added services to its merchants, including payment processing, financing, advertising, and logistics support.\nThe company's fintech platform, Mercado Pago, is of particular importance. A relatively small percentage of the Latin American population has access to bank accounts and debit cards, and Mercado Pago democratizes access to financial services, allowing consumers to fund purchases both online and offline. Mercado Pago allows MercadoLibre to monetize commerce more broadly, even when the transactions don't occur on its marketplace.\nCollectively, MercadoLibre's scale and product portfolio create a powerful network effect. Merchants naturally gravitate toward the most popular marketplace, and consumers seek out the greatest product selection. In other words, each new merchant creates value for every consumer, and each new consumer creates value for every merchant. And the same dynamic applies to Mercado Pago.\nThat virtuous cycle has translated into strong sales growth.\nDATA SOURCE: YCHARTS. TTM = TRAILING-12-MONTHS.\nAlso noteworthy: MercadoLibre is profitable on a GAAP basis, generating net income of $78.8 million over the last 12 months, up from a loss of $4.1 million in the previous year.\nInternet penetration currently sits at 62% in Latin America, far lower than the 95% internet penetration in North America. As that number trends upward in the coming years, e-commerce and digital payments should become increasingly popular with consumers, and MercadoLibre's strong competitive position means it should be a major beneficiary.\nHere's the bottom line: Despite its strong financial performance and massive market opportunity, MercadoLibre is still just a $62 billion business.
