Analyst Opinion

The Digital Care Management market in Africa is experiencing significant growth and development across various sub-markets such as online pharmacy, medication checker apps, and contraception and fertility apps.

Customer preferences: Customers in Africa are increasingly turning to digital platforms for their healthcare needs due to the convenience, accessibility, and affordability they offer. With the rise of smartphones and internet penetration in the region, consumers are more inclined to use online pharmacy services, medication checker apps, and contraception and fertility apps to manage their health effectively.

Trends in the market: In Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa, there is a growing trend of using medication checker apps to verify the authenticity of drugs and ensure patient safety. Online pharmacies are also gaining popularity in South Africa, where consumers appreciate the convenience of ordering medications online and having them delivered to their doorstep. In countries like Kenya and Ghana, contraception and fertility apps are becoming increasingly popular among women who are looking for discreet and convenient ways to track their menstrual cycles and manage their reproductive health.

Local special circumstances: In countries with limited access to healthcare facilities and medical professionals, digital care management solutions are filling a crucial gap by providing virtual consultations, medication delivery services, and educational resources. Additionally, cultural taboos around certain health issues in Africa, such as contraception and fertility, are being addressed through the anonymity and privacy offered by digital platforms.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The increasing middle-class population in Africa, coupled with rising healthcare costs and the need for more efficient healthcare solutions, are driving the growth of the Digital Care Management market in the region. Government initiatives to promote digital healthcare services and improve healthcare infrastructure are also contributing to the expansion of online pharmacy, medication checker apps, and contraception and fertility apps in Africa.

Methodology

Data coverage:

The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on revenues and user data of relevant mobile applications and consumer electronics companies.

Modeling approach / Market size:

Market sizes are determined through a combined top-down and bottom-up approach, building on a specific rationale for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of key players, industry reports, third-party reports, and survey results from primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, population, internet penetration, smartphone penetration, consumer spending, and healthcare spending. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

Forecasts:

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing are well suited for forecasting digital products and services due to the non-linear growth of technology adoption.

Additional notes:

The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war is considered at a country-specific level.
