Analyst Opinion

The TV & Video market in Cameroon is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors such as changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.

Customer preferences:
Cameroonian customers are increasingly demanding more diverse and high-quality TV and video content. They are seeking a wide range of programming options, including local and international channels, movies, series, and sports. This shift in customer preferences is fueled by the rising middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and improved access to the internet. Additionally, customers are showing a growing interest in streaming services and on-demand content, as they provide greater flexibility and convenience.

Trends in the market:
One of the key trends in the TV & Video market in Cameroon is the rapid adoption of digital television. As the country transitions from analog to digital broadcasting, there is a growing demand for digital TV sets and set-top boxes. This trend is driven by government initiatives to improve the quality and coverage of television signals, as well as the availability of affordable digital TV equipment. Another trend is the increasing popularity of video-on-demand (VOD) services. With the proliferation of smartphones and internet connectivity, more customers are turning to VOD platforms to access their favorite TV shows, movies, and videos. This trend is further propelled by the expansion of 4G networks and the decreasing cost of data.

Local special circumstances:
Cameroon has a diverse linguistic and cultural landscape, with multiple languages spoken across the country. This presents a unique challenge for content providers and broadcasters who need to cater to the preferences of different linguistic and cultural groups. As a result, there is a growing demand for localized content that reflects the cultural diversity of the country. This includes programming in local languages, as well as content that addresses the specific needs and interests of different regions.

Underlying macroeconomic factors:
The TV & Video market in Cameroon is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The country has been experiencing steady economic growth, which has resulted in an expanding middle class and increasing disposable incomes. This has led to a greater demand for entertainment and leisure activities, including television and video content. Furthermore, the government has been investing in infrastructure development, including the expansion of electricity access and the improvement of internet connectivity. These investments have played a crucial role in expanding the reach of TV and video services, particularly in rural areas. With improved infrastructure, more customers can access and enjoy a wide range of TV and video content. In conclusion, the TV & Video market in Cameroon is witnessing significant growth and development, driven by changing customer preferences, the adoption of digital television, the popularity of video-on-demand services, the demand for localized content, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, it presents opportunities for content providers, broadcasters, and equipment manufacturers to meet the diverse needs and preferences of Cameroonian customers.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Traditional TV & Home Video and OTT (over-the-top) Services. All monetary figures refer to consumer spending on digital goods or subscriptions in the respective segment. This spending factors in discounts, margins, and taxes.

Modeling approach / Segment size:

The segment size is determined through a bottom-up approach. 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., Consumer Insights), as well as performance factors (e.g., user penetration, price per product, usage) to analyze the markets. To estimate the segment size for each country individually, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific industry associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption.

Forecasts:

We apply a variety of forecasting techniques, depending on the behavior of the relevant segment. 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.
