How we can help you to unlock new

consumers & markets

Consumer demands and specifications are shifting along with the middle class in developing markets, as is the competition and business climate. These factors make it critical to be specific when it comes to operating in these markets, from developing the right products and services, delivery and post-sales support. At SSCG, we believe that understanding market opportunities, constraints and innovation play an important role in establishing your business operation strategies and allocation of resources.

The pressure to crack open markets in developing countries, particularly those at the middle and bottom of the pyramid, is driving a surge in business-model innovation. The economic slowdown in developed markets is forcing companies to reshape their operation models. In addition, the rise of new technology-based and low-cost rivals is threatening incumbents, reshaping industries, and redistributing profits. Indeed, the ways by which businesses create and capture value is undergoing radical transformation worldwide. At SSCG, we draw upon our global and local knowledge, market and industry insights to help our clients enhance their business operation capabilities, unlock new consumers and market opportunities across multiple sectors and countries in Africa. We are highly integrated across the region, which is very significant for our clients and to ensure that we retain consistent and quality standards everywhere.

At SSCG, we support our clients to do business in Africa and navigate market challenges, de-risk operations and strengthen value chains to increase efficiency.
