The African Opportunity
The African consumer landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, driven by growing populations, advances in technology and rising income. Africa’s urbanization is more rapid than anywhere in the world, creating huge opportunities for housing, transportation, water and power.
Germany is a global economic power – the world’s third largest exporter and a proven leader in technology and industrialization. But German investors sometimes overlook the enormous economic potential of the African continent, as well as cultural and social similarities. Six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa, which boasts a large and growing middle class that appeals to German investment.
