Services

Africa Analysis is a Market Research and Analysis Consulting House working in the ICT and xTech (future ICT technologies) sectors across Africa.

Africa ICT Market Focus

We focus on Africa, even though we have completed projects in Eastern European and Middle Eastern markets. With offices in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, and a network of partnered field offices in a number of strategic African countries, Africa Analysis’ capability extends across the entire continent.
This puts us in a unique position of being one of a very few strategic market analysis companies who developed such an in-depth footprint in Africa. The projects we have taken on, have seen our analysts and consultants travel extensively across Africa. In the process, we have amassed an impressive client base and much coveted knowledge.  
Our reputation lends itself to being impeccable with our word and consistent in our deliverables, which directly contributes to our African reach..
