There are some very interesting numbers that are emerging from Africa. Some of them are here for you to read. For instance:

  • Eleven million youth are expected to enter the labour market in Africa every year for the next ten years.
  • That’s one. Another, Africa has the fastest-growing middle class in the world. In 2015, consumer spending was around $1.4 trillion. By 2025, discretionary spending is likely to define at least 65 percent of African households (That is a great shift – simply put, Africans are going to spend more on discretionary products and services rather than basic necessities).
  • And here’s the cherry-on-top-statistic: An African country – Uganda – has the highest percentage of women business owners in the world. In fact, across the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, close to 25% of the female adult population is engaged in early-stage entrepreneurial activity.

The third statistic pertaining to the African economic landscape is hardly a surprise. To ensure the fulfillment of the need that the first statistic is creating – entrepreneurship is a definite solution. That is why 22 percent of Africa’s working-age population is venturing on new businesses and that is the highest rate from any region on the global map.

The fast-growing middle-class population, which the second statistic highlights, is a beacon which can be managed only by entrepreneurship tool. For no apparent reason except that to excel in an economy one should also have a proper understanding of its local market and conditions.

So the shift from consumer spending on basic necessities to discretionary products is something cannot be missed by African entrepreneurs who need to identify the opportunities better and create their game plan for success in there.
