Dangote Industries Limited has unveiled a long-term growth blueprint aimed at deepening Africa’s industrial capacity, reducing reliance on imports, and positioning the continent for sustained economic expansion by the end of the decade.
The strategy, branded Vision 2030, outlines a bold industrial agenda that places manufacturing, energy security, infrastructure development, and human capital at the centre of Africa’s transformation. Group President, Aliko Dangote, said the plan reflects the company’s belief that Africa must build strong domestic industries to secure its economic future.
Brandspur Brand News understands that the strategy targets a significant scale-up across Dangote Group’s core businesses, with cement, energy, fertiliser, and refining operations expected to drive the next phase of growth. The company is targeting a valuation of $100 billion by 2030, supported by expansion across multiple African markets.
A key pillar of the roadmap is Dangote Cement’s planned increase in production capacity to about 90 million tonnes annually by 2030. The expansion is expected to strengthen the group’s position among the world’s largest cement producers while supporting infrastructure development across Africa.
Energy and agriculture also feature prominently in the Vision 2030 framework. Dangote disclosed plans to expand its petroleum refining capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day, alongside scaling fertiliser output to 12 million metric tonnes per year. The moves are designed to support fuel self-sufficiency, boost agricultural productivity, and reduce pressure on foreign exchange.
Dangote said the group’s investments are guided by an “Africa First” philosophy, focused on building industries that support local economies, create jobs, and unlock long-term prosperity. He noted that industrialisation remains the most viable pathway for Africa to compete globally and improve living standards.
Beyond physical infrastructure, the group is also committing resources to talent development. In December 2025, Dangote announced a ₦1 trillion education fund aimed at supporting learning and skills development for young Africans. The initiative is intended to prepare the next generation to lead Africa’s industrial and economic growth.
The Vision 2030 strategy underscores Dangote Group’s influence in shaping Africa’s industrial landscape, particularly at a time when governments across the continent are prioritising self-sufficiency, value addition, and private-sector-led growth.
With large-scale investments planned across cement, energy, fertiliser, and education, Dangote Industries Limited is positioning itself as a central player in Africa’s push for economic resilience, industrial strength, and sustainable development over the next decade.
