Nearly 70-80% of infrastructure expenditure expected to be in transport
and utilities sectors
• Electricity production and
distribution will experience
substantial growth in annual
spending from $15bn in
2012 to $55bn by 2025
• Transportation and
communication account for
a large portion of investment
in most countries.
• The social infrastructure,
spending is expected to
increase for both healthcare
and educational facilities
because of public health
problems—notably HIV/
AIDS—and growth in the
school-age population.

Robust growth in the region is likely to drive infrastructure investment
• The Sub-Saharan Africa’s (SSA)
infrastructure market is
dominated by two major
regional economies—South
Africa and Nigeria. These two
account for over two-thirds of
infrastructure investment
• The upcoming 2015 version of the
“Outlook to 2025” may indicate a
moderation in short term
growth driven by recent political
and economic shifts
• Prospects in other countries
remain strong as the robust
growth in the region will fuel
infrastructure spending

Only Nigeria and Ethiopia have some room to accrue debt
• Debt burdens are lower as a proportion of
GDP in most African economies than in
“advanced” economies or even middle-
income countries
• But with a lower tax-take relative to GDP
(generally 15-20% across Africa,
compared to 25% in Argentina, 35% in
Brazil, and even higher in Europe), as well
as a poorer credit history than richer
countries, financial market perceptions of
sustainable debt loads in African
economies tend to be much lower

Assessing the global transport infrastructure
market: Outlook from 2015 to 2025

Roads will likely remain the
biggest area of investment,
especially for growth such as in
Africa. This is partly due to the rise
in prosperity and, hence, car
ownership and also the large
volumes of freight now moving on
Africa’s roads.
Although the smallest overall spend
on infrastructure Sub-Saharan
Africa is the fastest growing
regional infrastructure market, with
a projected average increase in
transport spending of over 11% per
year from 2015 to 2025. Most of
this growth is expected in roads and
ports.

“Investment in improved transport, information
technology and financial services allow service
providers to play a bigger role in global value chain
networks. [African] … firms have become increasingly
reliant on efficient logistics. This includes multi-
modal transport, freight and cargo handling, storage
and warehousing as well as supply-chain management ”

A Brief Summary of the Key Points
• Infrastructure investment in Africa will outpace other regions but remains small next to investment in south
east Asia,
• Coal, Oil and Gas are the primary driver of investment and economic growth in Africa,
• Nigeria remains the fastest growing larger economy in Africa. Other large but smaller economies such as
Angola, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania are also experiencing significant growth. Large economies such as South
Africa , Egypt and Algeria are lagging behind,
• The transport and logistics market is well paced to keep up with growth in most African countries but is
constrained by poor infrastructure, particularly at ports and in respect of the quality of roads,
• 70-80% of African infrastructure expenditure is expected to be in the transport and utilities sector,
• South Africa and Nigeria dominate the investment in infrastructure in sub-saharan Africa,
• Although Government debt levels in Africa are low only Nigeria and Ethiopia have some room to accrue new
debt,
• Africa’s export growth of 6.1% is the highest of any region in the world,
• Although commodity exports continue to dominate there is evidence of significant growth in agriculture and
manufacturing activity,
• Africa’s growth is more and more dependent on efficient and high quality logistics services with inter-
country trade growing by 13.5%,
• FDI’s flows into Africa are growing substantially and are dominated by coal oil and natural gas investments,
• Increasingly FDI is beginning to focus on manufacturing, metals, textiles and warehousing
