Africa is the fastest growing continent in the world. More than two-thirds of the continent has registered overall improvement in the quality of economic

governance in recent years, with increased capacity to deliver economic opportunity and basic services. Africa’s economic growth could not have happened without major improvement in economic governance.

However, for African nations to sustain this growth there is a an evergrowing need for market openness and for African nations to interact with global markets and entrepreuners.

Ethiopia is among the fastest growing non-oil producing countries in Africa. Growth is mainly driven by services namely hotel industry, financial sector, public services and real estate.

AUTOMOBILE SPARE PARTSAutomobiles in Africa rarely age without the need of spare parts. The

underdeveloped transport infrastructure calls for regular services and

checkups for automobiles and this eventually lead to replacement of

various parts. Most African countries do not have their own manufac-

turing plants therefore; spare parts are regularly imported from

countries with established manufacturing capacity.

COSMETICS, PERFUMES & BEAUTY PRODUCTSEthiopia represents one of the fastest developing markets for cosmet-

ics and beauty products. Not only is there a huge pent-up demand for

upmarket products from Europe and North America but also for the

entire range of beauty and personal care products from major manu-

facturers around the world.

MACHINERY, BUILDING MATERIALS & TOOLSAddis Ababa is a flourishing market for construction activities and has

led the demand of construction machinery one step ahead including

tower cranes and lifters, while minimizing the manual labor counts.

FOODSTUFF, FMCGFMCG sector in Africa has significant scope to expand. Poverty levels

in especially Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are still quite high, with food

Unaffected by Global Econmic MeltdownsAfrica is relatively unaffeced by fluctuations in developed and emerging equity

markets, with a correlation of a meagre 0.27 to world markets. On the contrary, stocks

are more driven by domestic factors.

Expanding economyThe IMF predicts that seven out of ten of the world’s fastest-growing economies

between 2011 and 2015 will be in Africa. By 2030, Africa’s top 18 cities could have a

combined spending power of $1.3trillion, making the continent a target for

companies seeking growth outside developed countries.

350 Million Consumers in EACEast Africa alone is home to over 350 million people, where consumer spending is

expected to grow to $150 billion in 2020. Sub-Saharan Africa could be the next big

growth region due to its high birth rates and a rising middle class.

Growing workforceAfrica is enjoying a growing middle class and a youthful workforce, already

equivalent to that of India. A growing consumer base will also be a positive for

the economy.

Africa has an exciting resource storyAfrica has rich resources in oil, natural gas, minerals, power, energy, food and

arable land. It has a land mass equivalent to Europe, the U.S, India, China and

Argentina combined. Non-oil output is also expanding thanks to reforms in the

energy sector.
