COUNTRY INFORMATION

Côte d’Ivoire: West Africa’s Gateway Market

With a population of more than 29 million, Côte d’Ivoire is West Africa’s economic powerhouse, contributing nearly 40% of WAEMU’s GDP. Its central location and advanced port facilities make it a strategic hub not only for domestic growth but also for landlocked neighbors such as Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, giving access to a regional consumer base of over 100 million people. This unique positioning, combined with rapid urbanization and steady economic expansion, strengthens Côte d’Ivoire’s role as a gateway market and a prime destination for global industries seeking growth across West Africa.

Africa’s Growing Home Decor & Furnishing Market

Africa’s home decor and furnishings market was valued at USD 15.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 22.4 billion by 2032, with a steady CAGR of 4.1%. This growth is fueled by rapid urbanization, rising household incomes, and large-scale investments in housing, real estate, and hospitality projects across the continent. Within this thriving market, Côte d’Ivoire is emerging as a regional hub, where demand for furniture, interiors, and lifestyle products is expanding quickly, making it a key gateway for global brands looking to enter West Africa.

Rising Demand for Quality Homes & Interiors

In Côte d’Ivoire, more than 70% of homes are self-built, creating a strong and growing demand for quality construction materials, modern furniture, and professional interior design services.
