Kenya's internet market is experiencing significant growth driven by satellite connectivity, with Starlink accounting for nearly all new subscriptions. Data from the Communications Authority of Kenya shows a 115.5% increase in satellite internet subscribers from June 2024 to June 2025.

• Satellite internet subscriptions in Kenya surged from 8,325 in June 2024 to 17,939 by June 2025.
• Starlink secured 17,425 fixed satellite subscriptions by mid-2025, holding a 0.8% share of Kenya's overall fixed internet market.
• The launch of 28 new Starlink satellites on September 28, 2025, is expected to improve coverage and reliability, especially for users in rural and remote regions.
• The high cost of Starlink's equipment and subscriptions remains a significant barrier, but its presence is already prompting established providers like Safaricom to reduce fiber prices by 25%.
