Untapped Potential: Invest in Africa's Metals Processing & Refining Industry

Africa's estimated USD 2.5 trillion in untapped mineral resources, including battery metals crucial for electric vehicles, positions it as a gamechanger in the global supply chain. Soaring global demand for green technologies is expected to see a 500% increase in mineral needs by 2050 (IEA), making Africa's reserves highly strategic.

 

This isn't just about future potential. Africa's infrastructure boom, with spending reaching an expected USD 100 billion annually by 2025 (AfDB), is driving demand for construction materials like iron ore (Africa holds 57% of global reserves). Africa is home to over 30% of the world’s mineral reserves — from gold, copper, and cobalt to iron ore, bauxite, and rare earth elements. As global demand for metals continues to surge, Africa offers unmatched opportunities for value-added processing and refining right at the source. Setting up your metals processing and refining business in Africa’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) is more than just strategic — it's transformative. These zones are designed to fast-track industrial growth through investor-friendly ecosystems that include world-class infrastructure, streamlined regulations, tax benefits, and access to raw materials.
