Background to Study
This research service provides an overview of the Sub-Saharan African Biofuels market, focusing on
six countries namely, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique and Zambia. The market size
for Sub-Saharan Africa and each country is determined for both biodiesel and ethanol. This report
expands on previous Frost & Sullivan reports on biofuels, using data on existing and planned
feedstock and biofuels production projects to quantify and forecast the market size. The base year is
2009 and forecasts are projected to 2017.
The current regulatory and country specific factors impacting on the biofuels industry and market are
outlined as well as the main challenges facing the industry and individual market participants. A
discussion of the drivers for and restraints against growth in this market gives further insights
allowing the identification of high areas of opportunity. Strategic recommendations are provided for
existing market participants and new entrants as well as an analysis of current best practices.
The biofuels market in Sub-Saharan Africa is in its emerging stage and high growth is expected in
the short term with sustained medium growth in the long term. While ethanol will initially hold the
larger share of the market, in the medium to long term it is expected that biodiesel will show higher
growth.
