Analyst Opinion

The TV & Video market in Ethiopia is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors including customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in Ethiopia are shifting towards digital media consumption, with an increasing demand for streaming services and online content. This can be attributed to the growing internet penetration in the country, as well as the availability of affordable smartphones and data plans. Ethiopian consumers are increasingly seeking convenience and flexibility in their TV and video viewing habits, opting for on-demand content that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. Trends in the market indicate a rise in the adoption of Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and video-on-demand services in Ethiopia. This can be attributed to the increasing popularity of international streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which offer a wide range of content including movies, TV shows, and documentaries. Local broadcasters and content providers are also entering the digital space, offering their own streaming services to cater to the changing preferences of Ethiopian consumers. Local special circumstances in Ethiopia, such as the lack of a well-established traditional TV infrastructure, have contributed to the rapid growth of the TV & Video market. Unlike many other countries where cable or satellite TV dominate, Ethiopia has a limited number of terrestrial TV channels, making digital platforms the primary source of entertainment for many consumers. This has created a favorable environment for the growth of online video streaming services. Underlying macroeconomic factors, such as the increasing disposable income and urbanization in Ethiopia, have also played a role in the development of the TV & Video market. As more people move to urban areas and experience an improvement in their living standards, they are more likely to invest in entertainment options such as TVs and smartphones. This has led to an increase in the demand for TV and video content, driving the growth of the market. In conclusion, the TV & Video market in Ethiopia is experiencing significant growth and development due to changing customer preferences, the adoption of digital platforms, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. As the market continues to evolve, it is expected that the demand for streaming services and online content will continue to rise, further driving the growth of the industry in Ethiopia.

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.

Additional notes:

The data is modeled using current exchange rates. The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is considered at a country-specific level.
