Why Consumer Goods Matter

Africa’s consumer base is booming both in terms of size and strength:

  • There will be more than 1 billion consumers by 2030 with increased purchasing power.
  • Also by 2030, consumer spending could reach over USD 3 trillion, driven by a middle class that now boasts numbers in the hundreds of millions.
  • From exporting goods to supporting local businesses within the continent, the consumer goods industry is primed for robust growth.

Why Creative Industries Matter

Africa’s creative economy is a powerful growth engine, shaping global trends and creating jobs for a young population. Yet it captures only ~1% of the global creative economy and ~3% of creative exports, with creative industries contributing only 2–3% of GDP in many markets—below other global markets. With better finance, rights management, and distribution, the opportunities for tourism, investment, and partnerships is significant.
