The Central African Republic's mobile commerce sector is experiencing steady growth, driven by increasing mobile phone adoption and improved internet access. With an estimated 4.2 million mobile users, more consumers are turning to smartphones for shopping, which boosts the overall e-commerce market to around USD 60 million in 2026.
Despite growth, digital payment usage remains modest at 35%, indicating room for expansion in secure online payment solutions. The e-commerce penetration rate of 12% reflects emerging digital engagement, but infrastructure challenges and limited digital literacy continue to influence market development and consumer trust.
