Fintech Funding in Africa Declines, as Climate Tech Takes up Major Funding in 2024

Fund, money cash dollar

In a report by Africa: The Big Deal, it presented a significant shift within the African startup ecosystem, as Climate Tech edges Fintech to attract most of the funding in Africa in 2024.

According to the funding numbers, Climate tech startups in Africa have raised $325 million so far, which represents 45% of all start-up funding in Africa in 2024.

While Climate Tech funding has been growing in absolute numbers in the past 5 years ($340m in 2019, $344m in 2020, $613m in 2021, $959m in 2022, and $1.1b in 2023), the investment boom in 2021 and 2022 did not benefit this space as much as other (such as Fintech), resulting in a drop in its share of total investments: from 25% in 2019 and 32% in 2020 to 14% in 2021 and 21% in 2022.

This share started to pick up again in 2023 (36%) and seems on track to grow again in 2024 (45% so far). Climate tech startups are increasingly capturing the attention of investors, driven by the urgent need to address climate change and its impacts on the continent. These startups are working on a range of solutions, from renewable energy and sustainable agriculture to waste management and water conservation.

The surge in funding for climate tech is a clear indicator of the sector’s rising importance and the recognition of its potential to drive sustainable development. It also reflects a broader global trend where investors are prioritizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions.

Despite this growth in the sector, there has been a great decline in the total share of investments in tech startups on the continent. In 2024 so far, the Logistics & Transport have raised $215 million.

On the other hand, the fintech sector which usually takes the major part of the funding, experienced a significant drop in investments, with $158 million of funding raised so far this year in Africa, representing only 22% of the funding raised on the continent.

Fintech, previously the dominant sector in African startup funding, has seen a relative decline in investment. The shift towards climate tech signifies changing investor priorities, but it also reflects broader market conditions.

“In 2024 so far, start-up funding in Africa is not quite what it was in previous years, in line with a global context that remains quite gloomy. One of the key reasons is the significant drop in investments in the Fintech space. Indeed, Fintech only represents 22 percent ($158m) of the funding raised this year so far in Africa, while at the same time last year, it made up more than half of the total ($852 million out of $1.7 billion)”, part of the report reads.

Despite climate tech’s recent success in attracting significant investment, the broader African startup ecosystem is experiencing a funding slowdown. With a few encouraging signs, the ‘funding winter’ is still in full swing with no signs of slowing down yet.

Multichoice Refutes Reports of Reduction in Subscription Prices For GOtv And DStv

Satellite television service in Sub-Saharan Africa, Multichoice, has refuted reports circulating the internet that it has reduced the subscription prices for GOtv and DStv.

A spokesperson at the company said the only reduction was the price of the decoder.

“We only reduced our decoder prices and not subscription prices. The DStv Zapper was slashed from N65,000 to N22,900 while the Zapper and the dishkit were slashed from N100,000 to N57,900. For GOtv, the Pizza Box was slashed from N56,000 to N19,900 and all of these took effect from the 1st of June 2024”, the spokesperson said.

Multichoice has been involved in a legal battle with the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) over price increases in its subscription packages.

Recall that in April 2024, Multichoice announced a fresh increase in prices of DStv and GOtv packages. In a statement titled ‘Price Adjustment on DStv and GOtv Packages’, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, John Ugbe, sent to its customers.

The company disclosed that the increase was necessitated by the rise in the cost of business operations. According to the statement, the increment would take effect on May 1, 2024.

This prompted a lawsuit from the Tribunal urging Multichoice to regain from increasing its subscription package. However, on the 1st of May, the company proceeded with the subscription increase for DStv and GOtv subscribers by 25% despite the court ruling.

For DStv Premium subscribers, the price moved from N29,500 to N37,000. Also, the price for Compact Plus soared from 19,800 to 25,000. The Compact bouquet rate moved from N12,500 to 15,700 while Confam and Yanga subscribers were mandated to pay N9,300 and N5,100 respectively from their previous rates of N7,400 and N4,200.

Following these increases, the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal ordered the Pay-TV operator, to pay its subscribers the sum of N150 million as a fine for not complying with court orders.

A three-man panel led by Thomas Okusu also ordered the company to provide Nigerians with a one-month free subscription to its DStv and GOtv Packages, accusing the company of unjustly increasing subscription fees without one month’s notice to customers and leveraging on it to seek interim orders.

In a recent development, Multichoice has taken its battle to the appeal court, contesting the recent ruling by the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal which had imposed a N150 million fine.

MultiChoice has in recent times faced challenges after it reported total annual losses of R4 billion ($217 million) on revenues of R56 billion, driven by macroeconomic challenges.

In markets like Nigeria and Ghana, devaluation and inflation have reduced consumer spending power, resulting in a decline in active subscribers. In Nigeria, the number of active subscribers dropped to 8.1 million, a decline of 1.2 million, decreasing the country’s revenue contribution to the Rest of Africa segment from 44% to 35%.
