Our Story

Defining the Voice of African Retail

Africa Retail Business is the continent's most trusted news publication dedicated exclusively to the retail industry. We illuminate the forces shaping how 1.4 billion Africans discover, purchase, and experience the world's fastest-growing consumer market.

Telling Africa's Retail Story With Precision

We exist to bridge the information gap in Africa's retail sector — providing the data, analysis and insight that entrepreneurs, executives and investors need to make confident decisions.

Too often, Africa's economic narrative is defined by outsiders. We believe the continent's retail story — one of resilience, ingenuity and explosive growth — deserves to be told by people who live it.
