South, West & East Africa
Capability Overview
Aranca has executed over 100 research projects across 15 sectors for both local and international companies in countries like Senegal, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Benin among others.
Despite political issues, the large population and proximity to European and Middle Eastern countries makes Africa an interesting opportunity for many international enterprises. Limited availability of public data and syndicated research is a challenge in many African countries and companies depend on Aranca’s ability to access information through desk or primary research to help assess market and competition dynamics and resultant opportunities.
