Kenya’s entertainment and media industry is undergoing a digital revolution, driven by internet advertising, AI-powered personalization, and mobile-first consumption. According to PwC’s latest Africa Entertainment & Media Outlook 2024-2028, Kenya’s E&M market is projected to reach $4.8 billion by 2028, with internet advertising leading global growth at 17.4% CAGR. This transformation is unlocking new opportunities for localized AI solutions and African-led digital innovation.
The Digital Shift: Internet Advertising Leading the Charge
Traditionally reliant on TV, radio, and print, Kenya’s advertising landscape is now dominated by digital channels. With increasing smartphone penetration and more affordable internet access, brands are shifting their budgets to online platforms where they can reach highly engaged audiences. By 2028, internet advertising revenue is projected to more than double, making it the most dominant advertising segment in the country.
