Despite the astonishing progress of the mobile industry in Africa in recent years, the biggest impact of mobile in Africa is yet to come. Roughly two thirds of the population are still without a mobile subscription, leaving much room for growth; here with this presentation we are showing some facts of mobile industry growth in Africa and opportunity which is exploring.
3. A THRIVING ECONOMY
Made up of a total of 54 countries,
Africa is the world's second largest and
most populated continent.
Africa’s collective GDP will increase
from $1.6 trillion in 2012 to $2.6 trillion
in 2020. Such growth will
understandably see more room for
businesses to hire new staff. This is
reflected in predictions that by 2040,
Africa is expected to be home to the
largest labor force in the world,
outstripping both China and India. $1.6 trillion

Africans access the Internet too, with
over 84 million Internet-enabled
mobile devices now in circulation. In
West Africa alone, mobile Internet use
is now on a par with fixed-line services;
fixed Internet and mobile Internet
