In recent years, not only has economic literature shown a renewed commitment to industrialisation and the manufacturing sector, but so have African government institutions. In this context, this study analyses the role of the manufacturing industry in furthering economic growth in African economies. It starts with a short history of Africa's unfolding economic performance and its economic structure, before analysing the relationship between structural change and economic development. If industrialisation is not only a by-product but also the driver of economic growth, what makes the African manufacturing sector unique? Does manufacturing yield specific benefits and, if so, why? In this respect, is the service-led growth model paving the way for African economies? Analysing the role of manufacturing in African economies, this thesis empirically explores the characteristics of the manufacturing industry.
