Manufacturing is going to play a major role in the futures of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

But only if the manufacturing boom is backed by an overhaul of energy infrastructure.

Countries have recognised that manufacturing is essential for sustained GDP growth:

  • In Africa, it’s expected to help bring 30 million people out of extreme poverty.
  • The UAE plans to grow manufacturing 30% by 2031 as part of its plan to diversify from oil and gas as the adoption of renewable energy rises.
  • In India the government is aiming to increase the share of manufacturing in the country’s GDP by 25% by 2025.
  • And as businesses look for alternatives to China, manufacturing is growing across South East Asia.

Reliable and efficient energy is key to this sustained growth of manufacturing across the region. Without it, businesses will falter and the full potential of the sector will never be realised.
