Music streaming platform Mdundo has announced a 22 percent increase in its user base for the last quarter of 2021. According to records from the company, the userbase increased from 16.3 million in Q3 to 20 million in the last quarter of 2021. This was driven by a high demand for an easy-to-use music platform on the continent, coupled with the Mdundo’s aggressive growth plans.
The company’s partnerships with leading consumer brands such as MTN Nigeria, Safaricom, Vodacom Tanzania, Standard Chartered Bank and Guinness have also contributed to its growth, and helped the company gain traction in the mass, middle class market and users in the 18-24 bracket.
Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria experienced notable growth especially among younger users during the period.
