As you might have read in a recent article by Citizen Digital, it is expected that Kenya's e-commerce sector will grow immensely by 2027. The report indicates this growth will be driven by the online food and grocery market, given the sharp rise in demand for online services since the global pandemic. But what does this mean for your business? How can you navigate this booming sector and ensure your venture is not left behind? Let's delve into this.
The E-commerce Boom
According to the Citizen Digital report, the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) projects that e-commerce penetration in Kenya will reach 53.6 percent by 2025. It is expected that by 2027, close to 17 percent of Kenyans will be purchasing their food and groceries online. This represents around 10.5 million consumers, a massive opportunity for businesses in the e-commerce sector.
While players like Jumia, Uber Eats, and Carrefour dominate this sector, there is still ample opportunity for local businesses to carve out their market share. You just need the right tools and strategies to reach out to this growing base of online consumers effectively.
Connecting to Consumers Online
In the digital era, businesses cannot afford to rely solely on traditional models of marketing and customer engagement. Investing in a powerful Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software that allows you to connect your social media accounts to your sales channels, communicate with customers in real time, and send them personalized offers is not only necessary, it's crucial. This is where DukaBrain comes in.
DukaBrain is Africa's first customer data and lead generation platform. Our uniquely designed service enables businesses to unlock the value of connected data by using real-time data. This involves wishing customers a happy birthday, sending personalized offers, recommending similar products, and thanking customers for their business. These simple gestures can boost customer engagement and, in turn, your business sales.
Our solutions have already been tried and tested. For instance, DukaBrain advertising campaigns led to a whopping 10x increase in sales for a major e-commerce site between May 2022 and June 2023.
Improving Advertising Performance
E-commerce businesses usually rely on advertising platforms such as Facebook and Google to reach out to potential customers. But the vast amount of data these platforms have can make it difficult for businesses to know how to spend their advertising budget profitably.
With DukaBrain, you can improve your advertising performance on these platforms by up to 200 percent. Our platform uses real-time data to assist the top advertising platforms in spending your money more profitably, ensuring your adverts reach the right audiences at the right time.

DukaBrain helps you increase your revenue per customer by up to 10X, simultaneously improving your customer retention rate. Happy customers are more likely to come back and buy from you again.
