The Democratic Republic of Congo has seen significant growth in web infrastructure, with over 12,000 active websites by 2026. Mobile web usage continues to dominate, with approximately 15 million users accessing the internet via smartphones. As web components become more mainstream, about 65% of DRC websites have integrated modern web technologies, enhancing user experience and performance.
E-commerce revenue has surged to USD 1.2 billion, reflecting increased digital engagement and better online payment systems. However, average website load times still lag behind global standards, averaging around 4.2 seconds, indicating room for infrastructure improvements. Continued investment in web development and digital literacy will be crucial for sustaining this digital transformation.
