The average per-capita income of African countries is rising. Many countries shifted to middle-income level, Kenya being one of them. Higher-income means higher spending on houses and accessories. Furniture is one of the sectors that directly develop with the rise in income. Here is why African businesses can find profitable opportunities in the furniture sector:
- Average income and the number of the middle-income population are increasing. There is expected to be more spending on furniture and home accessories.
- Consumer trends are shifting and many rich people demand luxury furniture and decoration items for their home and office.
- The supply of furniture is not enough in Sub-Saharan African countries. The existing items are very expensive due to the lack of distributors. There is great profit potential.
African entrepreneurs can become the exclusive distributor of foreign furniture brands. The international furniture brands are looking for local and strong distributors.
