\u00c1frica se est\u00e1 convirtiendo r\u00e1pidamente en una nueva frontera para muchas organizaciones.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With natural resources, growing consumer markets, and untapped markets, companies are increasingly eyeing Africa for competitive advantage and growth.  The continent\u2019s collective GDP is now almost at par with that of Russia and Brazil and the population is fast becoming urbanized. Africa has more urban population than India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, income and growth disparities exist in African countries. While some countries are showing rapid economic growth, others still face extreme poverty. Africa has one of the most diverse market structures, having developed markets like Libya and some completely underdeveloped markets like Somalia and Ethiopia. Even in most developed countries in Africa, infrastructure challenges exist.\u00a0 Many languages, logistical differences, transaction difficulty across borders, and different customs make Africa a highly diverse and difficult market<\/a> to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketing Research in Africa can help investors understand consumer behavior and attitudes and identify new untapped markets.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The African continent has the second largest population in the world and has more than 50 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major industries in Africa are largely dependent on natural resources. The two biggest industries, Agriculture and Mining are the sectors that are rapidly developing. The climate of the region is suitable for the growth of cash crops.  African cocoa products are in high demand worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otros pa\u00edses desarrollados han prometido ahora compartir experiencia tecnol\u00f3gica con \u00c1frica para ayudar a mejorar la productividad. Por otro lado, \u00c1frica tiene algunas de las mayores reservas de recursos naturales y minerales, incluidos petr\u00f3leo, oro, diamantes y carb\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major industry of Africa is the Finance Services and Banking industry which is growing rapidly. However, the sector is still lagging to provide substantial growth in the region. Risk, security concerns, and fears of fraud impact the development of the banking sector in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otro sector que muchos estiman que crecer\u00e1 en los pa\u00edses africanos es el sector manufacturero. Muchos pa\u00edses de \u00c1frica se centran en construir infraestructura y atraer m\u00e1s IED en los sectores manufactureros. Con considerables recursos laborales y materias primas, algunos consideran que la regi\u00f3n es una opci\u00f3n lucrativa para instalaciones manufactureras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rise of mobile phones and mobile technology in Africa is impacting how consumers live their lives.  This may also open the possibility of using mobile methods in Market Research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite growth in recent years, Africa still has very low figures in private investment. \u00a0Much of the African countries\u2019 wealth is dependent on natural reserves, which can be unstable due to changing macroeconomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los altos niveles de corrupci\u00f3n y la asignaci\u00f3n ineficiente de recursos pueden afectar los negocios y el desarrollo. Los gobiernos de \u00c1frica est\u00e1n tomando cada vez m\u00e1s medidas para mejorar las regulaciones y la infraestructura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigaci\u00f3n de mercado en \u00c1frica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Qualitative and Quantitative Investigaci\u00f3n de mercado en \u00c1frica<\/a> is growing.\u00a0 Traditional methods are typically used such as face-to-face data collection, In-Person Focus Groups and Telephone surveys.\u00a0 Conducting Investigaci\u00f3n de mercado en \u00c1frica<\/a> requires a thorough understanding of the local market.\u00a0 In some cases, research professionals may need to go from village to village to be able to build a sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
