🎬 African Entertainment is Booming, Creators Making a Splash in the Global Online Marketplace 🌍💻🚀

The African individuals who bring us joy in the media and entertainment sector are often overlooked in discussions about global markets, despite their significant financial contributions. According to Statista, African internet users are fond of social apps, gaming, and entertainment. Platforms like TikTok and Netflix are their go-to choices for video and film content. With the African entertainment market projected to reach $104.60 billion by 2027, more creators are diving into their creative endeavors and resources to illuminate the African media scene. 🌍🎥💡💰

Hollywood’s portrayal of our culture might have diminished interest in African films and media. They attempt to use American or European actors to mimic African accents with less than convincing results. At the same time, Western companies often misrepresent African culture, failing to respect the countries’ growth and progress. Moreover, collaborations with African filmmakers and actors are scarce, a major oversight.

Yet, despite these challenges, the African entertainment industry is thriving, with social media creators and influential figures leading the charge.

The Changing Landscape of African Entertainment The COVID-19 pandemic had people scrambling for ways to stay entertained amidst the global crisis. This period saw content creators and ordinary individuals like Elsa Majimbo consistently posting relatable content, such as videos. Today, creators like these have amassed followers propelling them to mainstream fame, landing magazine covers, fashion campaigns, and even properties in West Hollywood. 🏡🎬👑

As Africans invest time and money in media, companies need to keep up. With the rise of media marketing, Western audiences and markets are largely unaware of African creativity. It’s challenging to find films and series that accurately represent African concepts and culture, leading to the use of VPNs for platforms like Netflix.

The Old Faces New in the African Market Although the sector is gaining recognition, traditional forms of media like newspapers, live music, radio, and television will soon have to adapt to new industries. This kind of entertainment is popular in underdeveloped areas but will likely be overtaken by video and music streaming, internet advertising, and social media due to increasing demand.

Of course, other media sectors are drawing more attention, especially mobile gaming. This trend emerged after the pandemic altered lifestyles, requiring people to incorporate engaging activities into their routines—not just on this continent but worldwide. 🎮🕹️🌐

Where is Media Thriving in Africa? Like other regions, some parts of Africa are more advanced than others. South Africa, for instance, is a hotbed for innovation and talent, with sectors like film, animation, and music experiencing substantial growth. With 5G technology, South Africa even boasts its own streaming service, Showmax.

Nigeria is also a major target, with its entertainment industry dominating music, film, and fashion to such an extent that Amazon is interested in the Nollywood company, Inkblot Productions. Inkblot has made remarkable strides in improving the filmmaking industry, with films like The Wedding Party and Omo Ghetto receiving high acclaim and breaking records in 2019 and 2020.

However, it doesn’t stop there. Kenya and Ghana also hold vast potential for media companies. For instance, Netflix released a critically acclaimed Kenyan series called Country Queen. Even smaller markets, like Rwanda, can contribute to this sector’s growth.

It’s unfortunate that parts of the continent where companies and investors have not fully introduced technological innovation are neglected. For example, many Saharan Africans still lack comprehensive internet access, and the high cost of streaming data renders media consumption almost impossible.

African Creators Seize Opportunities in the Global Online Marketplace Recognizing this untapped potential, governments and official institutions like the International Finance Corporation have sought ways to expand opportunities and equip content creators to attract viewers. Since the pandemic, when the trend of African creators surged, more social platforms have introduced monetization tools easily accessible in Africa, like Instagram and YouTube.

This has resulted in instant growth in entertainment and media revenue in 2021 for South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. Meanwhile, internet advertising has become a major income source, while music and video streaming are predicted to surpass traditional TV subscriptions in Africa by 2026. Nigerian musicians are also making waves, with artists like Burna Boy and Wizkid topping worldwide charts. 🎤🎵🚀

Mobile Gaming Gains Popularity Among Users With the rise of African professional gamers, more people are playing mobile games every day. One sector capturing the African public’s attention is the metaverse and NFTs. The Nigerian and South African NFT markets are among the most developed. As more Africans immerse themselves in different virtual worlds, they have created the first African metaverse ecosystem, Ubuntuland, which an ad agency has already purchased. The spread of 5G mobile technology across Africa is trending, and it seems likely to lower the costs of connecting to streaming services or other forms of entertainment. On the other hand, traditional forms of media like newspapers, magazines, cinemas, etc., are likely to decline in the future.

Local African media companies are receiving funding to provide content for their audiences, gradually morphing into original efforts. So, instead of repackaging Western content for Africa, content creators and companies are on a mission to deliver authentic entertainment and reliable platforms for customers to get what they want. Advancing this industry’s development is no easy task, but the potential of creators is immense, making it worthwhile to leverage local talent and creativity. 🎥🎬🌍

Final Thoughts Even though Western entertainment permeates globally, Africa’s media and entertainment sector is slowly growing with the aid of African content creators and companies that are breaking cultural barriers to showcase the continent’s rich culture. 🌍🎉🚀
