Our consumer market
in context

Africa is home to roughly 1.2 billion consumers today, projected to increase to 1.7 billion by 2030. It is one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the world with household consumption increasing even faster than its gross domestic product (GDP) in recent years.

Africa’s emerging economies present exciting opportunities for expansion in retail and distribution with consumer expenditure on the continent growing at a compound annual rate of 3.9 percent since 2010 and reaching $1.4 trillion in 2015.

This figure is expected to reach $2.1 trillion by 2025, and $2.5 trillion by 2030 due to increasing affluence, population growth, urbanisation rates, and rapid spread of access to the internet and mobile phones on the continent. By 2030, the largest consumer markets will include Nigeria, Egypt, and South Africa.
