Market Analysis:

Africa is a vast and diverse continent with over 1.3 billion people, of which more than 70% are under the age of 30. With the rise of the digital age, the demand for internet and mobile services has increased significantly. According to GSMA, the mobile industry in Africa is forecast to contribute $184 billion to the continent’s economy by 2024.
