Global e-commerce and m-commerce giant, Mall for the Africa, today announced its expansion into 11 new countries in Africa. In response to increased demand for its patented platform, the app will now be available in Angola, Chad, Guinea, Botswana, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Egypt, Democratic Republic of Congo, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.
The award-winning app offers billions of items from more than 250 of the best US and UK retailers—stores that would otherwise be inaccessible to its customers. By managing every aspect of the order and return cycle, the app offers its customers a simple, secure and convenient solution to online shopping directly from many of the best brands in the world.
“This is an exciting time for Mall for Africa as our rapid growth will afford millions of new customers the opportunity to shop from the most desired retailers,” said Chris Folayan, CEO of Mall for Africa. “Current customers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Rwanda love our platform which is why we are rolling out in 11 additional countries and will continue to expand our platform to meet the needs of customers worldwide.”
According to Statista, global retail e-commerce sales will reach $4.5 trillion by 2021, a 246.15% increase worldwide from 2014. This is in result of shopper’s looking beyond borders when shopping online and 57% made a purchase from overseas retailer within the past six months. Last year’s Nielsen’s Connected Commerce report found that online is the favorite shopping destination for some categories, with one-third saying they purchase beauty and personal care online and more than two-thirds purchasing travel products or services online.
