ComexPeru

What ComexPeru does

ComexPerú, legally La Sociedad de Comercio Exterior del Perú, is a private non-profit business association founded in 1988 and headquartered at Calle Bartolomé Herrera 254, Miraflores, Lima, Peru. It groups Peru's principal companies linked to foreign trade — including agroexporters, manufacturers, trading firms, and trade-related service providers — and serves them through policy advocacy before government authorities, sector-specific working groups, economic studies, publications, and international business facilitation. The organization maintains 11 regional correspondents across Peru and international business councils linking Peru with Chile, China, and the Pacific Alliance, and it served as technical secretariat of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) during Peru's 2024 APEC presidency, including organizing the APEC CEO Summit.

Its core service offering is a portfolio of research products and platforms rather than a single software product. The central platform is Datasur, an intelligence database covering trade data across more than 30 countries and accessible to affiliated member companies. Around this, ComexPerú publishes the weekly Semanario ComexPerú, statistical bulletins (Datacomex, Infocomex, Cargocomex, Agrocomex), and recurring sector reports covering public spending effectiveness, tax collection, labor markets, and tourism. It also produces regulatory impact analyses under the Opiniones a Proyectos de Ley service and administers the APEC Business Travel Card, which facilitates business travel for Peruvian executives across 19 APEC economies. Distribution occurs through the institutional website, weekly and recurring publications, social media (including 161K+ followers on X), and in-person seminars, webinars, and international summits.

ComexPerú's revenue model is membership-based: companies must affiliate to access Datasur and core services, paying recurring membership dues supplemented by event-related and publication-related income. Membership fees are not publicly disclosed. The organization has 11-50 employees, is not venture-backed, and has no parent company or subsidiaries. Its primary technology dependency is Microsoft Corporation as the web database hosting provider, supporting event registration, user data, and content delivery. Governance is exercised through a Consejo Directivo (Board of Directors) and Comité Ejecutivo (Executive Committee), with formal participation in Promperú, the Consejo Nacional de Trabajo y Promoción del Empleo, and the Consejo Nacional de Competitividad y Formalización.
