Hi, it’s Kenechi Nnamani again, hope your day is as splendid as it is here in Chicago. We, at www.CarAdore.com are very excited about the continuous growth of the internet in the countries that we serve and all of those we hope to establish our mark in.
Did you know the number of internet users in Africa? - try 33.6 million users. This market size grew by over 643% from 2000 through 2006. We recognize that this number is based on available IP addresses that are linked back to Africa, and therefore, cannot quantify the number of unique internet users since many users in Africa do not own their own computers. At the time of this research, statistics showed that in certain countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, there were more than 10 users to a computer with a unique internet IP address. Therefore, a fair estimate of the unique internet users in Africa ought to be around 336 million.
According to this statistics of internet users, Nigeria has seen a 2,400% growth between years 2000 and 2006. This growth is expected to double by 2010. These studies have shown that CarAdore.com’s specific focus on the African market presents a unique opportunity to cater and swiftly respond to the growing ecommerce needs in African automobile industry.
The question is - what are your thoughts about the internet growth in some of these African countries, and do you think that the users are ready for online-based products and services?
