# Jumia Group

> Jumia Group is a pan-African commerce company whose marketplace connects consumers with local and international sellers, while its logistics network and payment gateways handle the difficult work between browsing and delivery. Operating in eight African countries after its 2026 exit from Algeria, Jumia serves price-conscious shoppers, brands, small merchants and third-party delivery customers. Its differentiation is local operating knowledge: pickup stations, cash and digital payment options, offline sales agents, and a partner-heavy delivery network designed for markets where addresses, banking access and retail supply are uneven.
