The global e-commerce company is expected to commence operations in Nigeria in 2023 as part of its plans to expand to Nigeria, South Africa and other countries in Africa, Europe and Asia.
Already operating in 20 countries, the development will see the e-commerce giant kick start operations in Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Nigeria, and South Africa in April 2023.
The entry of Amazon into Nigeria’s e-commerce space will further intensify competition in the sector dominated by Jumia, Konga, and Jiji, among others.
