Amazon and Walmart are expanding into African e-commerce markets through indirect distribution channels and partnerships rather than direct operations, establishing a "hidden pipeline" that brings major global retailers' products to African shoppers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building logistics, payments, or last-mile delivery in Africa, Amazon and Walmart are now your customer base—they need local operators to reach shoppers they can't serve directly. The market just got a proven buyer with global capital.
