PACKAGING AT PROPAK EAST AFRICA
The Africa packaging market is segmented by Material (Paper and Paperboard, Plastic, Metal, Glass), Product Type (Plastic Bottles, Glass Bottles, Corrugated Boxes, Metal Cans, Other Applications), End-User Industry (Beverage, Food, Pharmaceuticals, Household and Personal Care, Other Applications), and Country (Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Rest of Africa).
The market is driven by an expanding population of youthful consumers, increased demands for consumer products, burgeoning individual incomes, and growing domestic economies-particularly those in East and West Africa.
Under President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Big Four Agenda was introduced in an effort to enhance Kenya’s economy by generating more revenue and creating jobs. One of the pillars of the Big Four initiative will be ‘Enhancing Manufacturing’, more specifically to increase GDP from 9.2% to 20% by 2022.
This increased investment into the manufacturing sector in Kenya has paved the way for many businesses looking to expand and increase their output.
