Untapped Potential In ZIC Textiles Business Sector

The textile industry in Côte d'Ivoire is on the cusp of a major upswing, and the Zone Industrielle de Vridi (ZIC) presents a strategic location for investors seeking to capitalize on this growth. Data paints a compelling picture: the West African textile market is valued at a substantial USD 18.4 billion, with apparel consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa projected to reach a staggering USD 36.4 billion by 2025. ZIC offers easy access to this vast regional market through duty-free trade within ECOWAS, which boasts a population exceeding 200 million.

Furthermore, Côte d'Ivoire itself holds a significant advantage – it's the second-largest cotton producer in Sub-Saharan Africa. This translates to a readily available source of high-quality, long-staple cotton fiber for ZIC's textile facilities, potentially attracting premium garment manufacturers. Investing in ZIC offers numerous benefits: potential government incentives, well-developed infrastructure for logistics, and a skilled workforce experienced in various aspects of textile production.
