Park, Youngho; Jung, Jae Wook; Kim, Yejin | March 2018
Abstract
Previous discussions on the African economy have centered around the production and export of raw materials such as minerals and agricultural goods. However, the increasing purchasing power of the booming African population has created momentum for the need to analyze the development and potential of Africa’s consumer market. The growth of Africa’s consumer market is second only to that of Asia and is expected to maintain growth levels of over 4% till 2025.
