Market Update: Jumia Launches “Just Jumia It” to Deepen eCommerce Penetration | Tech | Business – Full Analysis

Jumia is advancing a bold vision to reshape retail in Nigeria, signaling a transition from a period defined by economic resilience to one characterised by expansion and digital acceleration.

As macroeconomic conditions stabilise and consumer confidence strengthens, the company is positioning itself to capture renewed spending momentum and embed e-commerce more firmly into everyday life.

 Anchored on accessibility, infrastructure, and customer-centric innovation, Jumia is evolving from an online marketplace into a trusted, everyday retail destination. It’s rallying call.

“Just Jumia It”, reflects a broader ambition to make digital commerce intuitive, habitual, and a driver of inclusive economic growth.

Through sustained investment in technology, logistics, and customer experience, Jumia is building a scalable marketplace designed to make shopping more accessible, reliable, and convenient for millions of Nigerians.

Recent performance highlights this trajectory, with strong year-on-year growth in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and order volumes signalling rising adoption nationwide.

Temidayo Ojo, chief executive officer of Jumia Nigeria, noted that the company views the current moment not as recovery, but as the beginning of lasting behavioural change.

“We’re seeing confidence return, and confidence translates into spending,” he said. “More importantly, it translates into habit. Our focus is on making e-commerce a normal, trusted part of everyday living.”

Operational efficiency and infrastructure expansion remain central to this ambition. Continued investments in fulfilment centres, last-mile delivery networks, and digital tools are enabling faster deliveries, improved pricing transparency, and wider national reach, while creating economic opportunities for SMEs, logistics partners, and sales agents across the ecosystem.

At the same time, Jumia is deepening local engagement through community-based sales networks that connect digital commerce with offline consumers, helping bridge access gaps and build trust in online transactions.

This locally grounded approach, combined with global governance standards from parent company Jumia Technologies AG, ensures the platform remains both internationally aligned and locally relevant.
