Exchanging valuable industry expertise to increase investment prospects in the African continent’s manufacturing sector.

Date: 25 May 2022 By: RX Africa

The manufacturing industry is crucial to the success of companies and their countries, as it is responsible for creating many goods, giving employment to millions of people, and making goods more affordable. Moreover, the African continent boasts high levels of global opportunities for investment across the manufacturing industry.

The manufacturing export market in Africa has been growing. According to the World Bank, much of this growth can be attributed to the increased number of African countries that are now in the manufacturing sector. The World Bank also reported that Africa is now the largest manufacturing exporter in the world. To grow the African manufacturing export market, it is necessary to focus on the supply chain in the industry. This includes having a trade fair, and introducing innovation and futuristic technology, equipment and machinery that will provide the industry with solutions to increasing outputs and improving quality.

RX Africa brings you the Future Manufacturing Africa (FMA) Trade Fair and Summit 2023. We aim to facilitate opportunities within the sector to generate jobs and growth, which is a key source of income and is a source of wealth and social development. FMA creates a development path for the manufacturing sector where we create business opportunities for companies that can assist in the growth of circular manufacturing for sustainable development.

The manufacturing industry in Africa has a rise in potential. We see growth spurts in key economic manufacturing countries and product drivers. Egypt, the biggest exporter of petroleum and petroleum products; Nigeria, the biggest exporter of flexible metal tubing; Ghana, the largest producer of cocoa beans in the world; are amongst budding African countries ready for investment and innovation. Other countries but not limited of interest are South Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Congo DRC, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire and Uganda.

The continent is rich with raw materials and has a high demand for manufactured products. This trade show is an opportunity for companies to come and explore the potential of Africa. The purpose of the trade fair is to provide a platform for new and existing companies to share ideas, technologies, and equipment. The FMA Trade Fair and Summit 2023 connects investors, entrepreneurs and key stakeholders in the hope to create investment opportunities for possible partnerships and projects on the African continent. These opportunities can assist in cross trading, expanding Africa’s competitive edge and sustainability across the manufacturing sector.
