Jiji’s journey to simplify, digitise, and enhance the vehicle buying and selling experience for millions of Kenyans was recognised at the event held at Weston Hotel in Nairobi to underscore the growing confidence Kenyan consumers place in online platforms.
Speaking after receiving the award on behalf of the company, Maureen Naliaka, from Jiji Kenya, said:
“This win shows that Kenyans are choosing convenience, transparency, and digital access over outdated, offline processes. We’re proud to connect buyers and sellers directly, affordably, and fast, and this award is proof that we’re doing something right.”
What does Jiji provide to buyers?
Jiji offers thousands of vehicle listings every month, powered by individual sellers and verified dealers.
This provides buyers a wide range of options to fit every lifestyle and budget whether they are looking for a saloon car, SUV, motorcycle, or truck
To further enhance transparency, Jiji offers a free car valuation tool, enabling buyers and sellers to determine fair market prices instantly.
Whether in traffic, at home, or work, Kenyans can now scroll through listings and compare prices from wherever they are.
“As Kenyans are demanding value and speed, Jiji delivers just that. We’re honoured by this recognition and remain focused on making the car-buying journey simpler, fairer, and digital,” Naliaka said.
According to a 2025 report by Mordor Intelligence, Kenya’s used car market is valued at USD 1.25 billion and is projected to grow to USD 1.39 billion by 2030.
Data Reportal (2025) shows that 27.4 million Kenyans are now connected to the internet, which has led to the e-commerce boom in the country.
