AFRICA MARKET OVERVIEW
The longer term trade outlook for Africa is generally optimistic, despite heavy pressure on the markets mainly due to Oil
and Commodity prices. Markets are on a path of continued development as a consequence of relatively stable GDP
growth since 2013 and strengthening government reforms.
More companies are exploring long-term investments in the region, and African countries are planning towards greater
infrastructure developments and investments in industrial projects, energy and mining. Africa has experienced a boost in
imports particularly from China, Japan, South Korea and India.
Africa's economic growth is projected to be 2% to 6% depending on country and region.

54 countries on the African continent possess 60% of the world's future farming potential.
There are more than 150 billion-dollar companies in Africa, and more than 500 with annual sales of $100 million.
Africa's land mass is bigger than that of the U.S., China, India, Eastern Europe, U.K., France, Germany, Italy and
Japan combined.
Africa has the youngest population in the world. Four out of every 10 Africans are under the age of 15, with a
median age of 20.
Major players such as mining giants BHP Billiton, Vale, Rio Tinto and GlencoreXstrata have highlighted West
Africa’s emergence as the next significant iron-ore region.
