Peru's export record, reaching US$45.13 billion between January and May 2026, is driving a surge in demand for technology, artificial intelligence, and automation suppliers. The surge is fueled by a record-breaking free-trade agreement with Hong Kong, set to take effect on September 1. Mining, which accounted for 73.8 percent of the exports, is the primary driver, with high copper and gold prices boosting the sector.

Non-traditional exports, including agro-products like fresh grapes, blueberries, and avocados, also contribute significantly. The boom creates opportunities in precision agriculture, fintech, infrastructure, and ports. As mines, farms, banks, and ports scale up to meet the increased demand, there is a growing need for digital tools, logistics, and specialized services.

This creates a market where each shipment carries behind it potential for new technology and support services.
