Africa is experiencing a digital surge — with more than half a billion mobile subscribers and growing. Yet the majority of mobile accessories — from chargers to earbuds — are imported, creating a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for local manufacturing. As smartphone adoption accelerates and e-commerce grows, setting up mobile accessories production in Africa means tapping into a high-demand, under-supplied, and rapidly scaling market.
