DIGITAL FOOTPRINT

Web traffic, app reach and release cadence

How the Brazil companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.

Most-installed apps

10 of these companies (1.9%) publish at least one Android app — 10 apps in all, carrying 535K installs between them.

Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.

App reach by segment

The busiest app inside each of this page’s own segments, with the quarterly release trend behind it (2023Q3–2025Q1).

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.

UNDERSTAND THE LANDSCAPE

Investment Industry in Brazil: key questions

Clear definitions for making better comparisons.

What does this landscape measure?

It measures the tracked company ecosystem, recorded funding, hiring and other available evidence. It is not a market-size estimate.

Can segment counts be added together?

No. A company can belong to several segments, so segment counts and funding can overlap.

What does a missing figure mean?

A dash or unavailable panel means the current reviewed source snapshot does not support that figure.
