Africa emerging as the new textile and fashion hub

Demand for African textiles and garments is increasing globally, and African patterns are gaining recognition as truly fashionable and iconic pieces. International fashion houses are integrating more and more African influences in their latest collections.

International textile manufacturers are turning to Africa as a new source of labor – and a growing consumer market. Africa is clearly and quickly taking on a greater role in the global fashion value chain. A great example of this is Ethiopia which is investing in industrial parks to accelerate textile production and the country’s productivity as well as developing a heavy industry that will allow its full industrialisation by 2025.

The African Development Bank will continue to support the fashion industry so that it can make its full contribution to the growth of our economies, as well as give Africa its rightful place in the global cultural and creative landscape.
