Direct peers

• Leroy Merlin Brasil: Brazil's largest home improvement chain, part of ADEO Group. Operates a similar omnichannel model selling construction materials, tools, fixtures, paint, and decor with both physical megastores and a strong e-commerce site, directly comparable to Tupan's category mix and target customers.
• C&C Casa e Construção: Brazilian home improvement chain focused on construction materials, finishes, tools, and DIY supplies for both consumers and trade professionals. Operates large-box stores and is a direct head-to-head competitor in the same product categories Tupan carries.
• Telhanorte: Brazilian home improvement and construction materials retailer serving both consumers and professionals. Carries similar departments (construction, finishes, tools, lighting, plumbing) and competes for the same DIY and contractor customers.

Regional players

• Ferreira Costa: Large home center chain headquartered in Pernambuco and serving the Northeast region of Brazil. The closest geographic competitor to Tupan with a nearly identical product assortment, making it a direct regional rival in Recife and surrounding markets.
• Joli Materiais de Construção: Brazilian construction materials and home improvement retailer serving select regional markets with a comparable assortment of construction, plumbing, electrical, and finishing products.

Broad incumbents

• Sodimac Brasil (Homecenter Sodimac): Brazilian arm of the Chilean Falabella group operating large-format home improvement stores. Sells comparable construction, tool, fixture, and decor categories with broader geographic reach than Tupan.
• Magazine Luiza: One of Brazil's largest omnichannel retailers, with growing presence in home appliances, furniture, and home improvement categories. Comparable as a broad retail platform competing for some of Tupan's baskets, particularly in appliances and decor.

Emerging players

• MadeiraMadeira: Brazilian online home and furniture marketplace that has expanded into home improvement and decor. Comparable as an e-commerce-led challenger targeting similar Brazilian consumer purchase occasions, including construction-adjacent categories.
• Westwing Brasil: Brazilian online home decor and furnishings retailer. While focused more on decor than construction materials, it competes for Tupan's decor, furniture, and household utilities baskets, particularly online.
• Amazon Brasil: Brazilian e-commerce operation with rapidly expanding home improvement, tools, appliances, and decor assortments. Relevant as a growing threat to Tupan's online channel and as a benchmark for e-commerce best practices.
