- Pan-Africa: Jumia (NYSE: JMIA) FY2025 revenue about $190M (+13%), exited Algeria to focus on core markets; local platforms Takealot (South Africa), Kilimall (East Africa), and Konga (Nigeria) each hold their ground.

- What to watch: low penetration (<5%) + high growth + a young population make MEA the region with the most room to imagine; constraints are last-mile logistics and payment inclusion (being filled rapidly by mobile payments).

10. Middle East & Africa
Ranking basis: Gulf (Noon, Amazon) is a qualitative ranking (neither discloses GMV); Jumia and Takealot by disclosed revenue; Trendyol by second-hand estimate. MEA data is incomplete; gaps are marked [GAP].
10.1 Middle East
| Rank | Platform | Company | Key data | Positioning & strengths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Noon (noon.com/.sa) | Noon (Emaar + Alabbar; PIF-backed) | GMV/revenue not disclosed [GAP]; Dec 2025 raised $500M (PIF-backed); valuation about $10 billion; planned UAE/Saudi dual listing | Gulf local champion (UAE/KSA/Egypt); noon express logistics, noon fresh grocery, noon pay finance; "approaching profitability" |
| 2 | Amazon.ae / Amazon.sa | Amazon | Country GMV not disclosed [GAP] (rolled into International segment) | Former Souq conversion; one of the Gulf duopoly; influx of Chinese sellers |
| 3 | Jumia | Jumia Technologies (NYSE: JMIA) | FY2025 revenue $188.9M (+13%); losses cut 38% to ~$60.1M; Q4 +34% | Pan-Africa #1 (9+ countries); 2024–25 exited several countries to focus on core markets (Nigeria/Egypt/Morocco etc.); targeting quarterly breakeven in 2026 |
| 4 | Takealot | Naspers/Prosus | FY26 revenue >R16bn (about $1B); first full-year profit; H1 FY26 about $385M | South Africa #1; holding ground under siege from Amazon SA (launched 2024), SHEIN, Temu; logistics opened to third parties |
| 5 | Trendyol | Alibaba (majority stake) | Transaction value about $14B, about 40% of Turkey ecommerce (second-hand estimate, year unclear) | Turkey #1, fashion-led super app; expanding into Saudi/UAE/Eastern Europe; Alibaba sold 85% of Trendyol GO in Dec 2025 (about ¥5 billion) |
⚠️ Definition and gap notes: Noon and Amazon never disclose country GMV (ranking is a qualitative judgment); Trendyol $14B/40% is a second-hand estimate; Jumia FY25 GMV was not captured in this retrieval (revenue has been verified). The Gulf is a Noon vs Amazon duopoly (Saudi social-commerce reports likewise put these two first).

QAno ang sulit bantayan?
- Nakatanggap ang Noon ng $500M raise na nakaugnay sa PIF, valuation ~$10B, nagpaplanong dual listing sa UAE/Saudi Arabia
- Unang full-year profit ng Takealot sa ilalim ng atake ng Amazon SA, SHEIN, at Temu
- Aprika 2024 mobile-wallet accounts lumagpas sa 1 bilyon, transaction volume $1T (GSMA)—mobile-first + mobile payments ang nagtutulak ng paglago
- Turkey 2025 ecommerce transaction volume $115.4B (+52%)—pinakamalaking iisang ecommerce market ng MEA; Egypt ang pinakamataas na paglago
- Ibinenta ng Alibaba ang 85% ng Trendyol GO noong Dis 2025 (~¥5B)
QAno ang mga pangunahing insight?
- Hindi kailanman naghahayag ng country GMV ang Noon at Amazon (qualitative ang ranking)
- Turkey + Saudi Arabia ~45% ng MEA ecommerce
- Mababang penetration (<5%) + mataas na paglago + batang demograpiko—MEA ang pinakamalaking silid tumubo; hadlang ang last-mile logistics at inclusion sa bayad
