The state of e-commerce indicators in Algeria

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reality of e-commerce indicators and their contribution to the diversification of the Algerian economy, thus presenting the opportunities for the development of e-commerce and the challenges of its development. The study concluded that e-commerce in Algeria is growing steadily thanks to the growth in the number of Internet users of Smartphones, except that its efficiency is still meager, which reflects its low contribution to the national economy. The results also indicate that the obstacles hindering the growth of e-commerce in Algeria are mainly due to the weakness of electronic payment and the lack of qualified resources as well as environmental and economic constraints. The study recommended the need to rebuild the mode of planning and development of digital infrastructures in Algeria, as they are considered as an engine of growth, productivity and competitiveness between companies and countries.
