This study aims to analyze and examine the supply and demand forces influencing the ICT market, specifically identifying Algeria's regional and international position within this market to assess its digital readiness. The study also provides practical insights on enhancing Algeria's competitiveness in the digital market in light of the current and emerging challenges posed by rapid technological advancements. Analytical-descriptive methodology was employed, utilizing the latest statistical data available in the region. The study reveals disparities between supply and demand in the ICT sector, with Algeria ranking moderately to poorly in supply-related aspects such as value addition, infrastructure, and digital innovation. On the demand side, Algeria shows positive signs with growth in market size and increased interest in digital technologies and solutions, particularly among individuals, presenting promising opportunities for investors to expand and contribute to sector development at national and regional levels.
