Manufacturing plays an important role in the global economy, as evidenced by its positive contribution to overall GDP and country productivity. Manufacturers and tier suppliers continues to confront a variety of challenges and disruptions as the global economy remains volatile and uncertain. Manufacturing is becoming more software-driven, blurring the distinction between the physical world of machines and the cyber world of data. The conventional portfolio mix of heavy hardware and related software is shifting to application and non-control software.
On the other hand, industrial and production manufacturing in Africa has been constantly expanding; the continent currently hosts some of the world's largest manufacturing companies, which vary considerably in size and capital structure. However, they share the same underlying market context, growth ambitions, adaptability, and viability over time. They are establishing themselves in response to market trends or changes in demand caused by improved fiscal and trade policies, the availability of raw resources, low-cost labour, infrastructural development, and an expanding customer base. Disruptions also create enormous opportunity for companies who have the capacity to transform and adapt their business models to effectively accommodate local dynamics in order to compete in the market and unlock new growth opportunities.

These are smaller and modular “cell” manufacturing facilities that use cutting-edge tools and solutions to gain a competitive advantage. They offer new levels of flexibility and scalability that larger, conventional factories struggle to achieve.
Microfactories will play a key part in the future of sustainable, custom and affordable production. The inherent benefits could prove to be a game changer for manufacturing, but could industry 5.0 and AI-powered microfactories really replace traditional facilities? While traditional factories still have plenty to offer in terms of economies of scale and operational efficiency, the modularity of microfactories allows manufacturers to become more efficient.
