Africa is a diverse continent of 54 nations, each with its own unique political and economic landscape, making it important to approach the region with an open-minded perspective backed up with local knowledge and experience.
It is the second largest continent in the world, with the second largest population that is expected to double in size by 2050, making it home to 25% of the world’s population.
The continent has seen rapid growth in its middle class, which is driving job creation and economic development. With the youngest population in the world, there are many opportunities for companies for investment and expansion.
Africa's top 5 economies include South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria, and Ethiopia, which together make up half of the continent's GDP.
Sectors such as mining, fintech, e-commerce, and agri-tech are growing, with agriculture continuing to serve as the primary foundation for many African countries. Efforts have been made to enhance farming techniques and localise the process of raw materials.
While there continues to be significant development, Africa’s untapped potential presents many growth opportunities, making it an exciting place for investment. However, due to the unique and diverse landscape, local knowledge, experience, and perspectives are required for a successful market entry.
Join the conversation as we dive into the African economy and the many opportunities it holds for foreign businesses and investors looking to tap into the fast-growing sectors across the continent.
