Untapped Internet Services Markets in Africa Offer Significant Growth Opportunities The African Internet services markets offer high growth potential and the increasing investments in both, fixed line and wireless technologies across the continent are expected to further accelerate market growth. The spur in investments by cellular operators for upgrading their networks is primarily due to the increased demand for data services. While the markets are characterised by intense rivalry, decreasing barriers to entry, diminishing supplier power, low buyer power and reduced threat of substitutes, the competition is expected to gain momentum as more regulatory bodies remove incumbent monopolies. "Increasing competition in the Internet service provider (ISP) markets is driving investment and innovation in the markets," notes the analyst of this research service. "Moreover, the prioritisation of information and communication technology by governments is fuelling the demand for Internet services." Widespread Poverty, Illiteracy and Poor Telecommunications Infrastructure Pose Challenges to Market Expansion Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Mozambique constitute the markets with the highest growth potential in Sub-Saharan Africa. Among other factors, this is attributed to the increasing FDI, sound regulatory environment, supportive business environments and increasing government support in these regions. While the growth rate of Internet usage in Africa is in triple digits, given the small market base, the overall number of Internet users has remained low. The main factors limiting the uptake of Internet services include widespread poverty, low literacy levels and the high operating costs which result in steep Internet service prices, thus making them unaffordable. "Low penetration rates indicate a huge potential market available for the providers of Internet services," explains the analyst. "ISPs, in some cases with the help of governments, are slowly devising strategies to cope with the restrictive licensing regimes, the poor telecommunications infrastructure and the low affordability of services." |
