Analyst Opinion

Email advertising has become a popular marketing tool in Kenya, with businesses leveraging this medium to reach their target audience effectively. Customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors have all contributed to the development of the Email Advertising market in Kenya.

Customer preferences:
Kenyan consumers are increasingly relying on email as a primary means of communication. This shift in communication preferences has opened up opportunities for businesses to engage with their customers through email advertising. With the rise of smartphones and internet penetration, Kenyans are more connected than ever before, making email advertising a convenient and cost-effective way to reach a wide audience.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the Email Advertising market in Kenya is the growing adoption of email marketing automation tools. These tools allow businesses to streamline their email marketing campaigns, personalize content, and track customer engagement. Automation helps businesses save time and resources while delivering targeted and relevant messages to their customers. Another trend in the market is the increasing use of mobile-responsive email templates. With a significant portion of the Kenyan population accessing emails on their mobile devices, businesses are adapting their email templates to ensure a seamless user experience across different screen sizes. Mobile-responsive emails not only enhance the readability and usability of the content but also improve the overall effectiveness of email advertising campaigns.

Local special circumstances:
Kenya has a vibrant and rapidly growing e-commerce sector, which has further fueled the demand for email advertising. As more businesses establish an online presence, they are looking for effective ways to promote their products and services. Email advertising provides them with a direct and targeted marketing channel to reach potential customers and drive sales. Additionally, Kenya has a large population of young and tech-savvy individuals who are active internet users. This demographic is more likely to engage with email advertising campaigns, making it an attractive marketing strategy for businesses targeting this segment.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Kenya's economy has been experiencing steady growth over the years, which has led to an increase in consumer spending power. As disposable incomes rise, businesses are investing more in marketing and advertising to capture a share of the growing market. Email advertising offers a cost-effective solution for businesses to reach a wide audience and generate leads without incurring significant expenses. Furthermore, the government of Kenya has been actively promoting digital transformation and supporting the growth of the digital economy. This has created a favorable environment for businesses to adopt new technologies and marketing strategies, including email advertising. In conclusion, the Email Advertising market in Kenya is developing due to customer preferences for email communication, the adoption of email marketing automation tools, the use of mobile-responsive email templates, the growth of the e-commerce sector, the tech-savvy population, the rising consumer spending power, and the government's support for the digital economy. These factors have created a conducive environment for businesses to leverage email advertising as an effective marketing tool in Kenya.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on E-mail Advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers the advertising budget used for creating and sending e-mail advertisements.

Modeling approach:

Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on specific predefined factors for each market. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies and industry associations, third-party studies and reports, survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, usage). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet coverage. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function is well suited to forecast digital products due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption, whereas exponential trend smoothing (ETS) is more suited for projecting steady growth in traditional advertising markets. The main drivers are GDP per capita, consumer spending per capita, and internet coverage.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. The market is updated twice a year. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). Data from the Statista Consumer Insights Global survey is reweighted for representativeness.
