Guest – Raymond Ledwaba – founder of ITTHYNK Gaming and the AfriGames Consortium
Africa’s gaming industry isn’t emerging, it’s exploding. In 2024 the market generated $1.8 billion in revenue, a 12.4% year-on-year increase, growing six times faster than the global average. With 349 million gamers across the continent (304 million on mobile alone), Africa added 32 million new players in just one year.
Mobile gaming already accounts for nearly 90% of the market, creating massive opportunities for developers, investors, and SMEs. Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa lead in revenue, but the fastest growth is happening in unexpected markets like Eritrea and Niger. This isn’t just entertainment. It’s a business revolution.
And yet, at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, the world’s biggest gaming expo, Africa had no national pavilion. Countries from Brazil to Thailand showcased their ecosystems. Africa’s absence is both a gap and an opportunity.
