This selection of online marketplaces in Africa features a mix of established e-commerce giants and specialized platforms. It includes Jumia Group, a leading African e-commerce platform with logistics and payment solutions, and takealot.com, a major e-commerce retailer in South Africa. Also present are عمل حر, a freelance platform connecting project owners with freelancers, and Nawy, a tech-based platform for real estate services.

How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 14, 2026.
