GARMENTING BUSINESS ADVANTAGES IN AFRICA

With a growing youth population of over 700 million, African apparel consumption is projected to reach $56 billion by 2025. This creates a multi-billion dollar market for locally produced, trendy garments.
Africa currently relies heavily on imported garments, with an estimated $31 billion spent annually. Investing in domestic garment manufacturing fosters import substitution, leading to more affordable clothing options for consumers and a reduction in foreign exchange outflow.
A 2023 survey revealed that 65% of African consumers are willing to pay more for clothing produced with sustainable practices. Invest in ethical and environmentally conscious garment manufacturing practices that resonate with the growing consumer demand.
Partnering with e-commerce platforms will provide a direct sales channel and leverages the growing trend of online shopping, with African e-commerce sales projected to reach $300 billion by 2030.
