eCommerce generated 739 million USD in revenue in Jordan for 2021 - an increase of 25.5% compared to last year. However, the sector is still vastly untapped and poised for exponential growth, as in the rest of Middle East. Jordan currently has nearly 7 million internet users. Just over 1/3 of them shopped online in 2021 and generated just over 200 USD average revenue per user. Global trends indicate that this number can only grow as more people transition to online exchange.
COVID Pandemic has opened way for this change, with more people turning to online transactions over the last 2 years. At the current rate of growth, 4.5 million eCommerce users are expected to generate over 1 billion US dollars in revenue by 2025.
