Global & Algeria Last Mile Delivery Market to 2031

As e-commerce continues to grow worldwide, the need for efficient, affordable, and timely last mile delivery solutions is rising in countries like Algeria. Despite challenges such as infrastructure limitations and relatively low internet penetration, Algeria’s last mile delivery sector is gradually expanding, fueled by a growing middle class, ongoing urbanization, and increased mobile connectivity. The surge in e-commerce activity in Algeria is a key driver of this growth. While online shopping is not yet as widespread as in more developed markets, the country’s e-commerce industry is developing steadily, supported by the rising use of digital platforms and the emergence of local online retailers like Jumia and Ouedkniss. According to Statista, Algeria’s e-commerce market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years, with increasing online consumer spending and engagement. Consequently, the demand for dependable and efficient last mile delivery services is on the rise as more Algerians embrace online shopping.

The Algerian government recognizes the vital role of logistics and e-commerce infrastructure in boosting economic development. It has invested in improving transportation networks, especially in urban areas, focusing on roads, ports, and railways. These infrastructure enhancements lay the groundwork for more effective last mile delivery operations. Additionally, government initiatives supporting local e-commerce include promoting digital payment systems and upgrading postal services, both of which can strengthen last mile delivery capabilities.

One of the biggest obstacles to last mile delivery in Algeria is underdeveloped infrastructure, especially in rural regions. While urban centers like Algiers benefit from better infrastructure, many areas outside major cities lack adequate road networks, clear signage, and distribution hubs necessary for efficient delivery. Poor road conditions and unreliable transport connections in remote locations contribute to longer delivery times and higher costs. Furthermore, traffic congestion and poorly maintained roads in cities add to delays, reducing overall logistics efficiency.

Algeria’s strategic location as a gateway to the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan Africa offers promising prospects for cross-border e-commerce and deliveries. Sharing borders with Tunisia, Morocco, and Libya, Algeria has the potential to become a regional trade hub. Expanding last mile delivery services into neighboring African markets could open new growth avenues for Algerian logistics firms, tapping into the continent’s expanding e-commerce landscape. Enhanced border logistics and government efforts to support regional trade are likely to strengthen Algeria’s last mile delivery network in the future. Show more
