What to know about Jumia
Jumia is of the opinion that the use of technology in day-to-day living in Africa has the ability to bring about positive changes. Jumia was developed to facilitate easier access for customers to millions of products and services at the most competitive prices, as well as to provide sellers with a new channel through which they can connect with customers and expand their companies.
In 2019, Jumia became the first African e-commerce company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The company is currently active in 11 African nations. A marketplace, a logistics service that facilitates the shipment and delivery of packages from sellers to consumers, and a payment service called JumiaPay, which provides a secure and user-friendly solution to facilitate online payment transactions, are the three components that make up the Jumia platform. The marketplace brings together consumers and sellers to facilitate commerce.
The company sells products in a wide variety of categories, including cell phones and other electronic devices, household appliances, quick-moving consumer items, as well as fashion and beauty products. In 2022, the company had more than eight million consumers and made more than one million dollars in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV).
