Mozambique's social commerce sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increased mobile internet access and smartphone adoption. With over 4 million active users, digital transactions are becoming a significant part of everyday shopping, especially among the youth and urban populations. The expanding trust index indicates improving consumer confidence in online transactions and digital payments, fostering further market development.
Despite the growth, challenges such as digital payment infrastructure and online security remain. Businesses are increasingly adopting social media platforms for direct sales, leveraging local influencers and targeted advertising. The projected 35% increase in transactions underscores the sector's potential, making social commerce a vital component of Mozambique's digital economy in 2026.
