Africa Infrastructure Sector Report 2025-2026

Infrastructure development is pivotal for Africa's economic growth. The burgeoning private consumption, driven by population growth, urbanisation, and an expanding middle class, has created surging demand for improved infrastructure across the continent, the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) highlights in its 2024 State of Africa's Infrastructure Report. This includes robust transportation networks, efficient energy systems, reliable telecommunications, and comprehensive water and sanitation facilities. Addressing this demand necessitates substantial investments in infrastructure projects, offering significant opportunities for both domestic and foreign investors. As noted by the AFC, Africa's trade and logistics sector confronts a series of critical challenges across its road, railway, airport, and seaport infrastructure. Road networks are limited, unevenly distributed, and of poor quality, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Furthermore, railways suffer from chronic underinvestment, low utilisation, and technological disparities, impeding their efficiency and connectivity. While the aviation sector exhibits growth potential, it grapples with high costs and safety concerns, according to the AFC.
