Kenya’s retail sector ranks as second-most formalised in Africa

Increasing urbanisation and rising levels of disposable income should fuel growth in Kenya’s retail sector in 2016 and beyond, as demand for quality outlets and a broader range of shopping options drives the construction of floor space.
Over the past five years, the average value of consumer spending has risen by as much as 67%, making Kenya the continent’s fastest-growing retail market.
With increased urbanisation and an ongoing rise in disposable incomes, formal retail activity – which is led by large blue-chip domestic companies in a number of segments – should continue to expand and diversify, especially as more international brands enter the marketplace.
Demographics of demand
The rise in formal retail activity can be seen most clearly by the expansion of dedicated property in major urban areas, including the country’s 3.5m-person capital city. Last year alone saw a near tripling of Nairobi’s modern retail space, with close to 170,000 sq metres of new leasable area coming on-line.
The rise in capital investment – combined with encouraging fundamentals, such as an urban population that the UN expects will rise by 2.8m over the next five years to reach 14.7m by 2020 – has led to the country being singled out as a hot prospect in several recent publications.
In its 2016 “Global Cities” report, for example, real estate consultancy Knight Frank predicts the Kenyan retail sector’s positive momentum will continue over the next two years. “In 2016 and 2017, a further [120,750 sq metres] of modern retail space will complete development in Nairobi,” the report said.
Online real estate platform Lamudi, part of Germany’s Rocket Internet, has also tapped Nairobi as one of the world’s fastest-growing real estate markets this year, with particular mention of the prospects for commercial and retail real estate, which it says will benefit from a rise in white-collar professionals.
Formal market expansion
In comparison to other African markets, Kenya’s formal retail penetration rate – which ranges from 30% to 40%, according to analysts – is the second highest in sub-Saharan Africa. This places the country at roughly half the level of South Africa, where formal retail is estimated to stand at 60% of overall activity, but twice that of Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy.
At least some of this potential is likely to be unlocked by the expansion of retail hubs into rural areas and cities outside of Nairobi, reducing the distance shoppers have to travel to access large shopping outlets.
While much of Kenya’s formal retail capacity is concentrated in central Nairobi and the port city of Mombasa, there has been growing development of formal space in cities such as Kisumu and Eldoret in recent years, with potential for even wider diversification in the future.
This is being driven in large part by the devolution process, which has led to higher incomes in counties outside the capital, and consequently to a significant increase in investor interest in developing retail centres in these areas.
In Kisumu, Kenya’s third-largest city, three new shopping malls opened in the twelve months to November 2015, bringing the total in the city to seven. One of the three new centres, the 27,000-sq-metre Lake Basin Mall, was developed at a cost of KSh2.5bn ($24.5m) and now stands as the largest mall in the region, according to developers.
Existing shopping centres in Kisumu are also being expanded to accommodate growing demand. The Mega Plaza Mall, which opened in 1996, is adding an additional 10 storeys, while the Mega City Mall is also undergoing expansion.
Meanwhile, in Eldoret, a second Buffalo Mall – following on the successful launch of the first Buffalo Mall in Naivasha in 2014 – is currently being built. The 14,250-sq-metre shopping centre, located on the outskirts of the city, plans to open in 2017.

Rock City mall

Mwanza. Mwanza readies itself to become a mega city with the opening of Rock City Shopping Mall, the biggest shopping complex in Tanzania and one of largest in East Africa.
The $40 million five story ultra-modern shopping complex with over 32,000 square meters in Kirumba Street will act as the gateway to the Lake Region.

Clerk of work, engineer Zuberi Magazini says that the construction of the complex is in its final stage and tenants are streaming in for strategic spaces.

Garden City mall Kenya 52,000m²


The investment by Actis, which says it has set aside Sh36.4 billion ($364.5 million) to spend on projects in East Africa within the next 11 months— will deepen its stake in the region’s real estate sector.
Actis has significant shareholding in the Nairobi Business Park, which houses the Junction Shopping Centre along Ngong Road and Tanzania’s Capital Properties.
Senior Actis partner Paul Fletcher told the Business Daily in an interview that the private equity firm is focusing on investments in real estate, energy, consumer and financial service sectors.


Take that cheap mall of yours back to the drawing board
