Analyst Opinion

The In-App Advertising market in Kenya is experiencing significant growth and development.

Customer preferences:
Customers in Kenya are increasingly turning to mobile devices for various activities, including browsing the internet, social media engagement, and accessing various applications. This has led to a high demand for in-app advertising as companies aim to reach their target audience through these mobile applications. Additionally, customers in Kenya have shown a preference for personalized and relevant advertisements, which has further fueled the growth of the in-app advertising market.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the in-app advertising market in Kenya is the increasing adoption of programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising allows for automated buying and selling of ad inventory, enabling advertisers to reach their target audience more effectively. This trend is driven by the growing number of mobile app users in Kenya and the need for advertisers to optimize their ad spend. Another trend in the market is the rise of native advertising. Native ads seamlessly blend with the content of the mobile app, providing a non-disruptive and engaging experience for users. This form of advertising has gained popularity in Kenya as it allows advertisers to deliver their message in a more organic and integrated manner, increasing the likelihood of user engagement.

Local special circumstances:
Kenya has a rapidly growing tech-savvy population, with a high smartphone penetration rate. This has created a fertile ground for the in-app advertising market to thrive. Additionally, Kenya has a vibrant startup ecosystem and a growing number of local app developers, which further contributes to the growth of the market. These local developers are increasingly monetizing their apps through in-app advertising, creating opportunities for advertisers to reach a wider audience.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
Kenya's economy has been experiencing steady growth, with a rising middle class and increased disposable income. This has led to an increase in consumer spending, including spending on mobile apps. As more consumers have access to smartphones and mobile internet, the demand for in-app advertising is expected to continue growing. Additionally, the government of Kenya has been investing in improving the country's digital infrastructure, including expanding internet connectivity, which further supports the growth of the in-app advertising market. In conclusion, the In-App Advertising market in Kenya is developing rapidly due to the increasing customer preferences for mobile apps, the adoption of programmatic advertising, and the rise of native advertising. Local special circumstances, such as the tech-savvy population and the growing number of local app developers, further contribute to the market's growth. The underlying macroeconomic factors, such as the steady economic growth and government investments in digital infrastructure, also play a significant role in driving the development of the market.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2B enterprises. Figures are based on in-app advertising spending and exclude agency commissions, rebates, production costs, and taxes. The market covers ad spending on advertisements displayed within a mobile application.

Modeling approach:

The market size is determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach. We use market data from independent databases, the number of application downloads from data partners, survey results taken from our primary research (e.g., the Consumer Insights), and third-party reports to analyze and estimate global in-app advertising spending. To analyze the markets, we start by researching digital advertising in mobile applications for each advertising format, incidents of in-app and mobile browser usage, as well as the time spent in mobile apps by categories. To estimate the market size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, mobile users, and digital consumer spending. Lastly, we benchmark key countries and/or regions (e.g., global, the United States, China) with external sources.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant market. For instance, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year.
