The adoption of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will accelerate intra-African trade and develop regional and local value chains, creating new business dynamics that offer investors access to a population of 1.7 billion people with combined business and consumer spending reaching $6.7 billion by 2030.8 To better understand the opportunities available, four high-potential sectors were initially selected by the AfCFTA to analyse in its Private-Sector Engagement Strategy as sectors representing opportunities for companies looking to invest in Africa: automotive; agriculture and agroprocessing; pharmaceuticals; and transport and logistics. These four sectors are expected to see rapid acceleration in production and trade volumes under the AfCFTA, given that they have a high potential to meet local demand with local production.
