The best way to reach a large South African motoring audience

Digital marketing is essential for businesses that want to grow their customer bases and gain market share in their industries.

The rise of internet access in South Africa over the past few years has increased the importance of this marketing approach.

The Digital 2025 Report for South Africa, published by DataReportal, found that there are 50.8 million Internet users in South Africa.

This was equal to 78% of the total population – emphasising the power that digital marketing holds.

Furthermore, the Internet is used by millions of South Africans to find important information on products and services.

According to the 2025 Digital Marketing Report, 77% of respondents favoured online articles and reviews for information on products and services, 46% trusted email newsletters, and 42% trusted social media adverts.

Extrapolating these percentages paints a clear picture – digital marketing holds unique power to grow your business and reach new customers.
