In 2026, digital penetration in the Central African Republic remains modest at 24%, but mobile device usage is dominant with 68% of users accessing the internet via smartphones. Web analytics adoption is still emerging among local businesses, with only 18% leveraging these tools for insights. Cross-device tracking is in its early stages, adopted by just 7% of websites, indicating room for growth in understanding user behavior across devices.
Despite the relatively low digital footprint, internet usage is gradually increasing, boosting e-commerce and digital services. The average session duration of nearly four minutes suggests users are engaging meaningfully with online content. As infrastructure improves and awareness grows, more businesses are expected to adopt advanced tracking technologies to enhance customer experience and marketing strategies.
