Latin America Company Database with Emails and Phones
Latin America company database with emails and phones: real coverage by country and industry across 364,669 companies, plus how to build B2B lead lists.
Short answer: a useful Latin America company database with emails tells you how many rows have the channel you plan to use, in the country you sell to. Our Latin America business directory has 364,669 companies in 9 countries: 99.8% with a phone in E.164 format and 69,558 (19.1%) with email, for US$499 one time. Email is concentrated in Argentina and Chile; elsewhere, the phone is the realistic channel.
Below are the September 2026 numbers for three of our company datasets, by country and industry, and a method to turn them into a lead list for your CRM.
Three sources, three contact profiles
Each dataset comes from a different source, so each has different strengths:
| Dataset | Companies | Countries | With phone | With email | With website | With WhatsApp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latin America business directory | 364,669 | 9 | 99.8% | 19.1% | 20.2% | 2.5% |
| Mexico companies with phone, email and website | 213,654 | 1 (15 metro areas) | 99.5% | 3.9% | 2.4% | 1.2% |
| Latin America business leads (OpenStreetMap) | 81,564 | 20 (53 cities) | 77.3% | 34.4% | 49.2% | 6.1% |
The two commercial directories are strong on phone (almost every listing has one, normalized to international E.164 format). The OpenStreetMap dataset has fewer rows but a much higher share of email and website, partly because we checked the businesses' own websites for contacts they publish themselves.
Latin America company database with emails: coverage by country
Email is not spread evenly. In the 9-country directory, the share of companies with email changes sharply by market:
| Country | Companies | With email | With website | With WhatsApp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Argentina | 78,112 | 44.2% | 29.9% | 5.6% |
| Colombia | 74,799 | 2.7% | 29.9% | 2.4% |
| Chile | 60,975 | 49.7% | 36.0% | 1.1% |
| Peru | 52,537 | 2.4% | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| Ecuador | 35,461 | 0.9% | 1.8% | 0.7% |
| Guatemala | 22,661 | 2.1% | 11.2% | 1.7% |
| El Salvador | 16,589 | 1.3% | 2.4% | 0.9% |
| Panama | 15,865 | 2.7% | 4.6% | 1.3% |
| Nicaragua | 7,670 | 1.4% | 6.8% | 1.3% |
In every country, more than 98% of companies have a phone. If your campaign depends on email, Argentina and Chile are where this directory delivers: together they have 64,795 companies with email (34,517 and 30,278). In Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Central America the realistic channel is the phone, and the website (when there is one) helps you qualify the account before calling.
The OpenStreetMap dataset follows a different pattern: 62.9% of businesses in Chile have email, 45.0% in Argentina, 40.0% in Mexico, 31.9% in Peru, 24.3% in Colombia and 23.9% in Brazil. If you need email in Brazil or Mexico, it complements the other two well.
Mexico: strong on phone, weak on email
Mexico has its own dataset: 213,654 companies in 15 metro areas, 99.5% with a +52 phone. The largest areas are Mexico City (37,346), Guadalajara (31,505), Monterrey (23,099), Puebla (14,619) and Querétaro (14,432).
To be clear about email: only 3.9% of Mexican companies in the file have one (8,309). If your Mexico plan is mass email, this file is not the right tool. If it is telesales, field visits or WhatsApp with validated phones, with a postal code on 87.9% of rows, it is. Our Mexico company database guide has the breakdown by city and industry.
Industries available for B2B leads
In the 9-country directory, companies are grouped into 13 sectors. The largest:
- Industry and commerce: 58,021
- Construction: 56,244
- Health: 50,732
- Tourism and food service: 38,488
- Professional services: 30,587
- General services: 22,698
- Automotive: 21,238
- Transport and logistics: 20,864
The biggest categories are restaurants (12,589), textiles (11,063), advertising (10,387), schools (10,219), food (10,050), print shops (9,446), doctors (9,187), hardware stores (8,922), architects (8,485) and auto parts (8,402). Also, 14,087 listings are paid directory advertisers, a useful sign of an active company that invests in marketing.
OpenStreetMap leans toward customer-facing businesses: schools (9,348), restaurants (7,393), pharmacies (2,651), hotels (2,465), clinics (2,418) and banks (2,346). It is a good fit if you sell to retailers, delivery, payments or point-of-sale software.
How to build your lead list in 6 steps
- Pick the channel before the volume. For calls, filter
tiene_telefono. For email, filtertiene_emailand accept a shorter list. For WhatsApp, filtertiene_whatsapp. - Choose country and industry. Use
paisandsectororcategoriain the regional directory,zona_metropolitanaandgiro_buscadoin the Mexico file, orcategoriaandciudadin the OpenStreetMap file. - Check the free sample. Each dataset page shows the schema and first 25 rows without signing up. Confirm the columns fit your CRM.
- Prioritize. Sort by contact richness: phone, email and website together first; in the regional directory, paid advertisers (
es_premium) first. - Dedupe against your CRM. Phones already come in E.164, so you can match on phone or website domain without cleaning formats.
- Import and measure. Download in CSV, Excel or JSON, import in batches and track contact rates by country and industry.
Responsible use of contact data
These datasets contain business contact data that companies published in directories, on OpenStreetMap or on their own websites: company phones, contact emails, websites and social links. They do not include national IDs or sensitive data. Some listings belong to one-person businesses, so the data may count as personal under local law.
- Check the data protection law of each country you contact (Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru each have their own) and document your legal basis, usually legitimate interest in a relevant B2B contact.
- Contact companies only about topics related to their business.
- Always include a simple opt-out and honor do-not-call registries where they exist.
- For the OpenStreetMap dataset, respect the ODbL license (attribution to OpenStreetMap contributors).
FAQ
Which dataset should I use if I need company emails?
For Argentina and Chile, the regional directory (more than 64,000 companies with email between the two). For Brazil and Mexico, the OpenStreetMap dataset, where 34.4% of all rows have an email. The Mexico file is better for phone than for email.
