Our TakeawaySo
Africa’s digital commerce potential is substantial, with online shopper growth projected at 10% annually until 2027 in its one-billion-strong population, as per Insider Intelligence. However, only 15% of Africans have made online purchases, signifying a burgeoning market ready for players like Ebanx. Mobile phones play a pivotal role in financial inclusion and digital payments, with 83% of the population having mobile subscriptions and 75% of internet traffic routed through mobiles, as reported by the World Bank. This environment is propelling digital payments, with 46% of African adults having engaged in at least one digital payment, a notable surge from 23% in under eight years.
