Kenya’s rapid GDP growth over recent years has been supported by factors such as a strong government, the private sector and foreign investment. The mobile industry however, has been a key contributing factor to the country’s GDP growth. 43.3M of the total population has access to the internet in Kenya, but only 13M are identified as active internet users by Google.

With more and more people getting mobile phones and access to the internet, social media has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in Kenya. There are currently 8.20M people on all social media platforms, the most popular being WhatsApp (74%), Facebook (70%) & Twitter (50%).

Smartphones are becoming more affordable to Kenyans, contributing to growth in mobile subscriptions. Jumia, Kenya’s leading ecommerce platform, has reported a continuous decrease in average price of smartphone over the last three years. In 2014, it cost about 186 USD to purchase a smartphone, which reduced to 97 USD in 2016 and 86 USD in 2018. Different mobile brands are capitalizing on this by availing affordable gadgets to the market thereby driving smartphone adoption.

Competition amongst brands has stiffened over the years, with Chinese brands dominating both Kenyan and African markets. Among the top mobile brands on Jumia in 2018, Infinix dominated the sales (for the past three years). Xiaomi and Huawei were seen as strong new entrants, gaining 5% and 9% market share on Jumia respectively, within 2018.
