API integration in Africa remains nascent with challenges like data privacy, connectivity, and fragmented regulatory landscapes. Local business leaders see value but are cautious about data sharing and compliance. Stitch, Union54, and Maplerad offer solutions but face limited adoption. The market is poised for growth with increasing digital adoption and cross-border trade.
