Africa shows that though lagging behind other world regions in development of online retail, African B2C E-Commerce is expected to rise, stimulated by increasing Internet penetration, improving infrastructure and especially the increase in mobile connectivity. While countries of the continent vary in advancement of online shopping, each of them has potential for further growth. South Africa and Nigeria are the continent's leaders in online retail development. While South Africa has been in view for years as an important emerging market, Nigeria is a rising star. As the regions' most populous country, it already surpassed South Africa in economy size and topped all other African nations by number of Internet users and mobile phone owners. Local online merchants Jumia and Konga are among the country's most popular websites. Jumia has already expanded beyond Nigeria to other markets in the region, while both companies received substantial investment to fortify their positions on the domestic market, as the launch of PayPal in Nigeria in 2014 is expected to bring more international competition.
