Population is the most fundamental condition for market formation; the more populous a country or region is, the greater the foundation and potential of its market.
In the past, traditional colonizers such as England and France were able to quickly utilize the local population to form their dependent markets during the colonial expansion process, while East Africa cleansed the indigenous people whenever it occupied a location, naturally disrupting the original market.
Therefore, although East Africa's overseas colonies appear considerable in size, their market value is far from comparable to other countries' colonies.
However, this situation has improved in recent years, especially in East Africa's colonies in the South Sea Region, where population recovery is the fastest.
