Kenya’s Internet Users to Hit 39 Million by 2028

Kenya’s digital transformation is gaining serious momentum — and the numbers say it all.

According to recent reports from DataReportal, Kenya had 22.7 million internet users as of early 2024. That accounts for about 40.8% of the country’s total population.

But here’s the big shift:
By 2028, the number of internet users is expected to grow to over 39 million (source: WelcomeTomorrow.io).

That’s nearly a 72% increase in just four years — a clear signal that Kenya is rapidly embracing the digital economy.


What This Means for Businesses in Kenya

Whether you’re a local SME, a growing eCommerce brand, or a B2B service provider, this explosion in internet adoption opens up massive opportunities.

Here’s how to position yourself for growth:

1. Your Customers Are Online – Now More Than Ever

As more Kenyans get online, they’re not just browsing social media. They’re researching products, reading reviews, and shopping online. If your business isn’t visible online, you’re missing out on this growing audience.

2. Your Website Is Your Digital Storefront

With such a large mobile-first audience, having a website that loads fast, works beautifully on smartphones, and ranks on Google is no longer optional — it’s essential. Websites convert visitors into leads, customers, and referrals.

3. Digital Marketing Will Be a Business Necessity

As competition increases online, businesses will need to invest in:

  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

  • Content marketing and blogs

  • Social media campaigns

  • Online advertising

Those who start early will build authority and customer trust before the market is saturated.


Are Kenyan SMEs Ready?

Unfortunately, many businesses in Kenya still lack a website or rely solely on social media. This strategy may have worked when only a fraction of the population was online — but in a market that’s doubling in size, that’s a missed opportunity.
