Manufacturing

In terms of global manufacturing output, Africa represents just 1.5% of global output.

Over the past three decades, the manufacturing output of Africa has grown threefold to approximately $200 billion annually. Still, as a percentage of overall GDP, the manufacturing sector has declined in importance from approximately 17% to currently 11%. South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania are the only African countries with significant manufacturing sectors.

Africa is one of the most exciting and potentially dynamic markets in the world, increasingly capturing the attention of the world’s largest businesses. Strong economic growth, increasing focus on regional economic integration and diversification, untapped natural resources, high access to mobile technology and a young, entrepreneurial demographic provides the possibility for Africa to embrace and succeed in the Fourth Industrial revolution.

Embracing these opportunities will require technology, including weighing technology.
