In 2026, Liberia's social commerce sector has seen significant growth, with over 1.2 million users engaging in online purchasing through social media. The average conversion rate of 3.5% indicates increasing effectiveness of social media marketing in converting viewers into buyers, reflecting improved digital literacy and mobile penetration. The average spend of $45 USD per user shows a promising expansion of digital retail spending in the country.
Despite the relatively low social media penetration of 25%, the rapid adoption of smartphones and affordable internet plans are expected to boost user engagement further. Local businesses are increasingly leveraging social platforms to reach consumers, which is contributing to the overall growth of Liberia’s digital economy. Continued infrastructure development will likely accelerate this trend, making social commerce an essential part of retail in Liberia.
