2. Electric vehicles will transform the global rubber industry: The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) marks a major turning point for the global tire and rubber industry. The driving characteristics of electric vehicles require tires optimized for range, which increases the value of natural rubber through its ability to reduce rolling resistance. This evolution has led to a restructuring of the composition of tires, combining natural and synthetic rubber in order to balance performance and durability. While this transformation will provide opportunities for natural rubber-producing countries, it will also put significant pressure on small-scale farmers due to increasingly stringent quality requirements.

7. By 2030, mobile technologies will contribute $290 billion to the African economy: the GSMA (Global Mobile Association) has confirmed the driving role of digital connectivity in the continent’s growth. The African telecommunications industry is now focusing less on extending coverage and more on leveraging digital infrastructure and developing services such as artificial intelligence (AI). However, the main obstacle remains the financial accessibility of equipment and services. The GSMA calls on governments to implement incentive policies to promote global digital transformation.
