Growth Gateway: Investing in green sectors in Africa, cold chain logistics investment case

This presentation and summary was prepared by the Growth Gateway programme team in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. It aims to support stakeholders in understanding Africa’s cold chain logistics market, currently valued at £360 million, with the potential to grow to £4 billion.

The document analyses the cold chain logistics market in Africa, outlines the growth drivers and market dynamics, identifies success factors and operational models for project viability, and suggests strategic pathways for UK investors to engage with the sector. It serves as both an investment case and a practical guide to navigating barriers such as financing, regulation, and demand risk in cold chain logistics across the continent.
