"Market-leading operators often have the strongest networks, but they do not always perform well in terms of customer satisfaction."

This report focuses on aspects of Analysys Mason's Connected Consumer Survey that relate to the behaviour, preferences and plans of smartphone users in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region. In particular, it focuses on respondents’ satisfaction with their mobile services.

This report answers the following questions.


  • How do churn levels differ between countries and operators?

  • What factors seem to affect churn decisions?

  • What are churners looking for in their next tariff?

  • What is the Net Promoter Score (NPS) of different operators? What seems to affect it?

  • How do operators perform in different parts of the country and what demographics are they strong in?

  • How does data consumption correlate with customer satisfaction?

  • How do different data pricing strategies affect customer experience and satisfaction?


Survey data coverage

The research was conducted in August and September 2016. The survey groups were chosen to be representative of the mobile-Internet population in the region. We set quotas on age, gender, employment, and regional demographics to that effect. There was a minimum of 1000 respondents per country, and 4000 respondents in the region.

The Connected Consumer Survey 2017: mobile churn and customer satisfaction in Sub-Saharan Africa

Table of Contents

Executive Summary
Market leaders often have the strongest networks, but they do not always perform well in terms of customer satisfaction
Higher data allowances generally correlate with higher customer satisfaction, but operators could do more to maximise potential benefits
Operators have clear opportunities to monetise strong demand from customers for higher data speeds and larger data allowances
Recommendations

Main Drivers Of Churn And Customer Satisfaction
Churn levels are relatively low in Sub-Saharan Africa
Network quality and performance are major drivers of churn in the region
Network performance often drives churn for smaller operators; some of the larger players' customers are looking for lower prices
Speed is the dominant attractor for customers looking to make changes to their mobile plan, particularly in countries trailing on 4G roll-out
Operators in SSA have relatively high NPSs, particularly the smaller operators

Network Coverage And Performance
Regional NPS variations help isolate the effect of network coverage and performance on customer satisfaction
MTN is performing well in Accra but is let down by widespread dissatisfaction in rural areas, where Vodafone typically fares better
Safaricom is doing well in Nairobi, but Airtel has a strong position in urban centres in terms of market share and satisfaction score
Nigeria is regionally fragmented; Airtel is performing well in rural areas whereas Etisalat is meeting the needs of urban customers
Cell C's network investment has improved its satisfaction rating but it still performs poorly in rural areas, where Vodacom is strong

Focus On Mobile Data Pricing
There is a strong correlation between higher levels of data consumption and increased customer satisfaction; operators should capitalise on this
Vodafone Ghana is addressing the needs of higher-end users who value its network quality; MTN and Airtel compete at the low end
Consumers in Kenya generally rate Airtel higher, despite its lack of a 4G network, than market leader Safaricom
Nigerian operators have mixed results, particularly when it comes to meeting the needs of low-end users
Specific pricing issues in the sub-500MB and 2GB+ categories are affecting customer satisfaction in South Africa
High overage charges for postpaid users affect satisfaction levels in South Africa so operators should review their pricing
