Distributor Focus On Unicorn Sales And Services
East Africa is leading the African continent as the fastest growing region. With an annual average growth rate of 6.7 per cent between 2013 and 2017, its growth was more than double that of the African average, as it races ahead of its African peers. Kenya is regarded the hub of East Africa, as one of the 11 countries on the continent that account for roughly 80 percent of total wealth and consumer spending (Signe, 2018).
An analysis of Africa's consumer market potential (Trends, drivers, opportunities, and strategies) revealed that "the volume of consumer spending in Kenya is already the largest in the East African region, and several trends point to enormous potential for continued growth in the immediate future. First, the East African region, and Kenya in particular, has seen some of the most impressive improvement in transit infrastructures in all of Africa in recent years. Kenya’s Vision 2030 lists distribution as a “strategic sector” to target and, recognizing the centrality of the distribution sector in driving regional growth, the governments of East Africa have worked to harmonize their customs and tax regulations and to encourage the movement of goods across borders."
With such exciting opportunity and growth potential , this feature covers Gilbarco Veeder-Root's sole distributor in East Africa for Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan; Unicorn Sales and Services.
