Ethiopia’s Gaming Market is on the Rise
Ethiopia’s gaming industry is booming. This growth is driven by a rising user base and increasing demand. By 2025, the country’s gaming market will generate $283.10 million in revenue. The projected annual growth rate is 10.50% through 2027. The number of mobile gamers is expected to reach 24 million by 2027.
This rapid growth is fueled by Ethiopia’s increasing mobile and digital adoption. Ethio Telecom’s latest performance report shows 80.5 million total subscribers. This include 43.5 million mobile data and internet users. The expansion of 4G and 5G connectivity to more cities, is also contributing to this growth. Investments in fixed broadband and digital financial services are creating fertile ground for esports to thrive. The rise of Telebirr, with over 51.5 million users, further accelerates access to digital transactions, facilitating in-game purchases and tournament entries.
This growing demand clearly shows the immense potential of the Ethiopian esports landscape—and EthioArena is here to take it to the next level.
