Algeria has more than 30 million active social media users, representing nearly 70% of the connected population. These platforms have become essential marketing channels for Algerian businesses, but not all platforms are equal depending on your sector and target audience.

Algerians spend an average of 3h15 per day on social media — 45 minutes more than the global average. This is an extraordinary marketing opportunity for local businesses.
