Africa’s largest industrial conglomerate, Dangote Group, has unveiled its “Vision 2030” strategy, outlining an ambitious roadmap to build a $100 billion pan-African industrial powerhouse within the next five years.
The strategic framework, branded Dangote Vision 2030, sets out a plan to accelerate growth across the Group’s core businesses while deepening investments across the African continent.
The initiative is anchored on expanding production capacity, strengthening human capital development, reducing import dependence and advancing sustainable industrialisation.
According to the company, the vision reflects a long-term commitment to transforming Africa’s industrial landscape by prioritising value addition and domestic manufacturing over imports.
Central to the strategy is a renewed focus on scaling key sectors including cement, fertiliser, petrochemicals, refining and other heavy industries where the conglomerate already maintains a dominant footprint.
By consolidating its leadership in these sectors, the Group aims to boost intra-African trade and support broader economic integration efforts under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

The plan also emphasises job creation and skills development as critical pillars. By strengthening human capital across its operations, the company says it intends to empower local workforces and build technical expertise capable of sustaining long-term industrial growth.
The “Africa First” philosophy underpins the Vision 2030 agenda, signalling a deliberate strategy to prioritise investments that directly contribute to the continent’s economic resilience and self-sufficiency.
Industry analysts note that the announcement comes at a time when African economies are increasingly seeking to diversify revenue streams, reduce vulnerability to global supply chain shocks and expand domestic production capacity.
If successfully executed, Dangote Vision 2030 could significantly reshape Africa’s industrial landscape, positioning the conglomerate as one of the continent’s most influential drivers of large-scale manufacturing and economic transformation.
