Abstract
Capturing value upstream via IP, or downstream via application is key for manufacturers looking to survive when low-cost labour dries up
According to a 2017 McKinsey & Co. report, 10,000 Chinese firms operate in Africa, with one-third of them manufacturing companies. Many are midsize manufacturers without the critical mass to take on the big boys, and so decide to capitalise on Africa’s lower labour costs as those in China creep ever higher.
