Market Segmentation Analysis

The report provides insights into the following segments and their leading categories:

Renewable to Dominate the Market – By Fuel type

According to Nitesh, Research Manager at 6Wresearch, Kenya's telecom tower market is the increasingly shifting focus toward with the renewable energy solutions to address hurdles related to the energy costs and environmental sustainability. With the rising demand for reliable network infrastructure, telecom operators and the tower companies are exploring solar and wind energy as viable alternatives to traditional diesel-powered systems. These renewable solutions not only maintain operational expenses but also minimize the carbon footprints, aligning with the global sustainability goals.

Lattice Tower to Dominate the Market – By Tower Type

Lattice towers play a important role in Kenya's telecom tower market, providing robust and cost-effective solutions for the network infrastructure expansion. These structures are designed to support the increased demand for mobile and internet services by offering the high durability and the capacity to accommodate multiple antennas. Lattice towers are particularly suitable for regions with challenging terrains, as their lightweight till sturdy design allows for their easier travelling and installation.

Rooftop to Dominate the Market – By Installation

Rooftop towers represent another significant segment of Kenya's telecom tower market, particularly in urban and the densely populated areas. These towers are installed on the roofs of buildings, leveraging existing infrastructure to less the need for ground-based tower construction. Rooftop towers are highly important in urban environments where space is less, allowing telecom operators to promote network coverage without requiring additional land. They are also cost-effective and quicker to deploy compared to traditional ground-based towers.

Private-Owned to Dominate the Market – By Ownership

Privately-owned telecom tower companies play a important role in Kenya's telecom tower market. These entities, often referred to as towercos, own, operate, and manage telecom towers, the leasing infrastructure to multiple mobile network operators (MNOs). This shared infrastructure model helps less operational costs for MNOs while promoting the efficient use of resources. Privately-owned towers are particularly vital in connecting remote and the underserved areas, where deploying the individual operator-specific towers would be the economically unfeasible.
