Résumé

Algeria relies heavily on hydrocarbon exports, making economic diversification and more efficient logistics increasingly urgent. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and automation can improve the storage, transport, and border clearance of goods. This paper aims to examine how logistics digitalization can strengthen Algeria’s export performance, drawing on international experience and an analysis of current national conditions. The study combines a literature review, four country case studies (China, Germany, Brazil, and Kenya), and a SWOT analysis of Algeria’s logistics sector. Findings suggest digital tools help reduce transport and handling costs, shorten delivery times, and improve reliability. The main obstacles include infrastructure-related gaps, limited digital skills, and a regulatory framework not yet adapted to data-based services, electronic documentation, and digitalization.
