Rapid internet penetration and expanding mobile connectivity are driving this growth across the continent. Countries are witnessing significant improvements in broadband access and mobile network coverage, enabling uninterrupted streaming on smart TVs and OTT platforms. Declining data costs and the rollout of 4G and 5G networks are making high-quality video accessible to both urban and semi-urban populations, accelerating adoption. The proliferation of mobile internet is also encouraging multi-device viewing, where consumers use smartphones to discover, control, and interact with content on smart TVs. Telecom operators are supporting growth by offering bundled data and streaming plans, reducing barriers for consumers. Rising connectivity creates opportunities for marketers and content creators to engage new audiences through targeted and localized streaming services, strengthening the overall connected TV ecosystem across Africa.
In 2024, the 30-inch to 50-inch screen size segment generated USD 2.8 billion. These screen sizes strike a balance between affordability and functionality, appealing to middle-income households and urban consumers seeking smart features without the premium of larger displays. Compact screens also suit smaller living spaces common in rapidly urbanizing regions, enhancing viewing comfort and immersion.
The curved TVs segment accounted for a 65.6% share in 2024. The curved design creates a more immersive experience with better depth perception and reduced edge distortion. While less common than flat screens due to higher costs, curved TVs are gaining traction among tech-savvy urban households seeking value-added home entertainment experiences.
South Africa Connected TV Market held a 27% share and generated USD 1.7 billion in 2024. Growing awareness of digital lifestyles and entertainment consumption has fueled demand for connected TVs.
