According to DMG, over the next three years, e-commerce shoppers in Africa will reach 500 million users.   To support that trend, logistics and transport infrastructure needs to improve. Consumers increasingly demand faster delivery times, yet the costs of last-mile delivery are high. MIT estimates that the cost of getting goods from Ethiopia to Nigeria is four to five times higher than what a trip with a similar distance within the U.S. would cost. Moreover, according to the U.S. International Trade Administration, financial penetration in the continent is quite low. Only 10% of Africans have a debit card, and just 2% have a credit card.
