**[TechCentral](https://daily.dev/sources/techcentral)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Jumia Technologies expects to break even in Q4 2026 and achieve its first full-year profit in 2027 after years of restructuring. The Africa-focused e-commerce platform narrowed its 2025 loss to $60.1M from $97.6M in 2024, growing 35% year-over-year in Q4. The company has strengthened its position against Chinese competitors like Temu and Shein by expanding sourcing in China, improving logistics efficiency, and leveraging its payment-on-delivery service as a key differentiator in African markets.
