Despite the growth, Uganda's e-commerce conversion rate remains modest compared to global averages, influenced by logistical challenges and limited internet access in rural areas. However, ongoing infrastructure investments and mobile money adoption are likely to boost transaction volumes and conversion efficiency. As digital literacy improves, more Ugandans are expected to complete purchases online, fostering a vibrant digital economy and increasing overall e-commerce competitiveness.
