GLASS MANUFACTURING BUSINESS ADVANTAGES IN AFRICA

The glass market in Africa is projected to reach an approximate value of $80 billion by 2030, with a significant CAGR of 7%.
Africa currently has a low production capacity for glass compared to its demand. This gap creates a significant opportunity for investors to establish themselves as key players in fulfilling the continent's glass needs.
Africa boasts abundant resources like silica sand, a key raw material for glass production. Utilizing local resources reduces reliance on imports and fosters a more sustainable value chain.
Invest in advanced technologies for efficient glass production. Consider opportunities in specialty glass like laminated or tempered glass to cater to the growing demand for high-performance building materials.
You can look beyond glass production and explore opportunities in finished glass products like mirrors or processed glass for various applications, and even cater to the growing demand for sustainable glass packaging in the food & beverage industry.
