Abstract
This IDC Survey Spotlight examines the use of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for key services such as public safety and security in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The data for this study comes from IDC's Telecom and IoT Survey, 2023, conducted across Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa in January of this year.
"Currently, most organizations across Kenya and Nigeria use IoT solutions for video surveillance systems. The increased threat to public safety by militant organizations across both markets has increased demand for video surveillance solutions. However, the increased adoption of fintech solutions, which resulted from the technology disruption during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic has driven demand for omnichannel services. Hence, more organizations are expected to use IoT solutions for their omnichannel operations." — Derrick Chikanga, research manager, IT services, IDC Middle East and Africa
