The Seychelles' GDP per capita amounted to 22,000 U.S. dollars in 2025, the highest in East Africa. Mauritius ranked second, with a GDP per capita worth around 13,000 U.S. dollars. Burundi, on the other hand, had the lowest average income per person, at about 160 U.S. dollars.

In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

The African food cold chain logistics market, valued at $9.19 billion in 2025, is experiencing robust growth, projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.94% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is driven by several key factors. Rising urbanization and a growing middle class are fueling increased demand for fresh and processed foods, particularly in major economies like Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya. Improved infrastructure, including better roads and cold storage facilities, though still nascent in many areas, is enhancing logistical efficiency and reducing food spoilage. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of technology, such as GPS tracking and temperature monitoring systems, is improving supply chain visibility and traceability, leading to minimized losses and greater consumer confidence. The market is segmented by service type (storage, transportation, value-added services), temperature control (chilled, frozen, ambient), and product category (horticultural products, dairy, meat/poultry/seafood, processed foods, others). The dominance of certain segments will likely shift over the forecast period, reflecting changing consumer preferences and the evolution of the food processing sector. While challenges remain, such as inadequate infrastructure in certain regions and high energy costs, the long-term outlook for the African food cold chain logistics market remains exceptionally positive. The entry and expansion of numerous companies such as CCS Logistics, Khold, and Cold Solutions East Africa, reflects the market's dynamism and attractiveness to investors. This positive trajectory is further supported by government initiatives promoting food security and agricultural development across the continent. These policies often include investments in cold chain infrastructure and capacity building, creating a favorable environment for market expansion. However, the market's growth is not uniform across all regions; countries with better infrastructure and stronger economies will likely experience faster growth rates. Addressing challenges such as energy reliability and skilled labor shortages through public-private partnerships and targeted investments will be crucial to unlock the full potential of the African food cold chain logistics market and ensure the reduction of post-harvest losses, ultimately contributing to improved food security and economic development across the continent.

Increasing smartphone adoption directly translates to higher consumption of digital entertainment content, including streaming services, mobile gaming, and social media. Furthermore, the rising disposable incomes within key African economies are significantly increasing spending power, leading to greater investment in entertainment and communication services.

The forecast period of 2025-2033 indicates a significant expansion of the market, driven by factors like the increasing affordability of smartphones, expansion of 4G and 5G networks, and the rising popularity of mobile money. Nigeria, Egypt, and Kenya are expected to be leading contributors to market growth, given their large populations and relatively advanced digital infrastructure. The diverse nature of the market requires a tailored approach to service offerings, considering the unique cultural preferences and technological capabilities of each region. Companies need to adapt their strategies to cater to the varying needs and preferences of consumers across the continent, focusing on affordability, language localization, and culturally relevant content. Analyzing the different segments, and regions will allow companies to effectively target their services and achieve maximum market penetration.

This expansion is driven by several key factors. Rising disposable incomes across major African economies like South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt are fueling increased consumer spending on convenient and nutritious food products, including yogurt. A growing health-conscious population is increasingly recognizing yogurt's nutritional benefits, leading to higher consumption. Furthermore, the expanding retail infrastructure, particularly the growth of supermarkets and convenience stores, provides wider distribution channels for yogurt manufacturers. Innovative product development, including the introduction of new flavors catering to local palates and the rise of non-dairy yogurt options to meet diverse dietary needs, further fuels market growth. However, challenges remain, including fluctuating raw material prices, intense competition, and variations in consumer preferences across different regions within Africa. Successfully navigating these challenges will be crucial for continued market expansion. The segmentation analysis reveals a diverse market. Dairy-based yogurt currently dominates, but the non-dairy segment is expected to gain traction due to increasing demand for vegan and lactose-free options. Flavored yogurt enjoys significantly higher demand than plain yogurt, reflecting consumer preferences for taste and variety. Supermarkets and hypermarkets represent the primary distribution channel, although convenience stores and online channels are witnessing notable growth, signifying evolving consumer shopping habits. While South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt represent the largest markets, significant growth potential exists in the "Rest of Africa" segment as economies develop and consumer awareness increases. Key players like Danone, Nestle, and Chobani are actively competing in this dynamic market, investing in product innovation and distribution networks to capture market share. Strategic partnerships with local distributors and targeted marketing campaigns tailored to specific regional tastes and cultural preferences will be critical for long-term success. Recent developments include: In 2021, Chobani LLC launched new flavors of zero sugar yogurt. According to the company, these new flavors are Mixed Berry and Strawberry, respectively. The strategy behind the new launch and product innovation is to offer consumers a sugar-free product so that the company can target diabetic patients, and also this specific strategy will enable the company to expand the business and enlarge the company's product portfolio., In June 2021, General Mills and Mars Inc.'s new mashup were Yoplait Skittles, a limited-edition yogurt launched in June that is designed to taste like Skittles candies. Available in 6-oz cups containing 160 calories each, the yogurt comes in three varieties: Original Skittles, Wild Berry Skittles, and Skittles Smoothies., In April 2021, General mills announced the launch of yogurt that will pack more protein per cup than any other on the market. The new yogurt, called Ratio: Protein, follows the company's introduction of Ratio: Keto, which targets consumers tracking their three macronutrients: fat, protein, and carbohydrate. It's the latest in a series of yogurt launches at General Mills, targeting consumers with very specific dietary or taste preferences.. Notable trends are: Growing Demand for Probiotic Food.
