Kenya, with a population of over 55 million people (2023), is one of Africa’s most dynamic economies and a strategic gateway to East and Central Africa. Its position as a regional hub, combined with a strong entrepreneurial culture and growing infrastructure, makes Kenya an ideal market for companies looking to expand their footprint in Africa.

For businesses seeking growth, Kenya offers a vibrant consumer base and rising demand for imported goods. Key imports include machinery, vehicles, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, processed foods, and construction materials—creating attractive opportunities for international suppliers and brands across multiple sectors.

The key to success? Finding the right distributors and retail channels.
Nairobi, Kenya’s capital and commercial powerhouse, is home to major importers, wholesalers, and modern retail networks. Mombasa, the country’s main port city, plays a critical role in trade and distribution, while Kisumu and Eldoret serve as important regional trade hubs. Partnering with experienced distributors who understand Kenya’s regulatory environment, logistics, and consumer preferences can accelerate market entry. Aligning with established retail chains, supermarkets, or specialty stores ensures that products reach the right buyers efficiently.
