Usage Note

Mercadotecnia is the formal Latin-American Spanish term for 'marketing', coined to avoid the English borrowing. In Spain márketing (or marketing) dominates everyday use, making mercadotecnia a marker of formal or Mexican register. University programmes and official documents in Mexico often use mercadotecnia where a Spanish counterpart would write marketing.
