Jumia Technologies has reported a notable 25% year-on-year increase in Q3 2025 revenue, reaching $45.6 million, a development CEO Francis Dufay describes as a pivotal moment in the company’s recovery journey.
After years of grappling with high costs and fluctuating customer engagement, the e-commerce giant is showing signs of stabilisation. Operational losses fell 13% to $17.4 million, while quarterly active users climbed to 2.4 million, reflecting renewed confidence among consumers across its African markets.
First-party sales surged 54% to $23.8 million, and the total value of orders hit $197.2 million, reinforcing the momentum behind Jumia’s growth. The company’s Q3 results hint at a possible trajectory toward sustainable profitability, though challenges remain, including competition from informal marketplaces, rising logistics expenses, and currency volatility in key regions.
Dufay expressed cautious optimism, noting that Jumia’s improved operational discipline and compelling value proposition could now position the company for lasting, profitable expansion across its markets.
This performance marks a meaningful step in what the CEO calls the company’s “inflection point,” signaling that Jumia may be on track to turn its long-standing losses into a sustainable growth story.
