Energy Management Systems Market to Grow 6.2% CAGR Surge

April 1, 2025

Despite the fuss about iPhones, android users still dominate the African continent, with a current percentage of 83.36 as opposed to 14.03% of iOS. 

Even in Nigeria, a country known for its growing tech-savvy population, Statista’s survey in April 2023 revealed that Android held a commanding 78.7% market share, leaving Apple’s iOS with a modest 14.8%. But what’s driving this overwhelming preference for Android across the African continent?

While affordability is often cited as a reason for Android’s popularity, it’s not the sole factor. High-end Android phones, like Samsung’s flagship models, can be just as expensive as iPhones. So, there must be more to the story.

1. Diverse Price Range:

One key factor contributing to Android’s dominance is its diverse price range. Android offers a wide spectrum of devices, from budget-friendly options to top-tier, premium models. This versatility ensures that there’s an Android device to fit every budget, making it accessible to a broader range of consumers.

2. Customization:

Android users enjoy a high level of customization. They can personalize their devices by choosing from a variety of widgets, themes, and launchers. This flexibility allows users to tailor their smartphones to their unique preferences and needs, enhancing the user experience.

3. Local App Ecosystem:

The Android ecosystem is often more accommodating to locally-developed apps and services. This is especially important in Africa, where homegrown apps and solutions play a significant role in daily life. Android’s open-source nature allows developers to create and distribute apps more freely.

4. Accessibility:

Android’s accessibility features make it a practical choice for users with disabilities. These features are crucial for ensuring that smartphones are inclusive and can be used by a wider range of people, aligning with the principles of universal design.

5. Multitasking and Productivity:

Android devices offer robust multitasking capabilities, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously. This feature is valuable for business professionals and students who need to juggle tasks efficiently.

6. Hardware Options:

Android manufacturers produce a wide range of devices with different specifications. This variety allows users to choose a device that meets their specific needs, whether it’s a phone with a powerful camera, extended battery life, or gaming capabilities.

7. Regional Preferences:

In some African regions, there are strong preferences for Android due to brand loyalty or local marketing efforts. Manufacturers like Tecno and Infinix have gained popularity in specific markets through strategic pricing and marketing campaigns.

8. Versatility:

Android’s open ecosystem enables users to connect their devices to a broader range of accessories and services, enhancing its versatility.

While affordability certainly plays a role, it’s the combination of these factors that makes Android the preferred choice for the majority of African smartphone users.
