The Made In Ethiopia national movement is reshaping the nation’s economic landscape by strategically resolving deep rooted and widespread structural bottlenecks. This historic journey, anchored in integrated leadership and policy reforms, has sustained the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector and propelled it toward a new peak of productivity. By projecting raw material supplies from 29 million to 76 million tons averaging 15 million tons annually the movement has established a formidable foundation for an industrial renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This progress is further reinforced by monumental infrastructure investments, including the commissioning of 3.4 GW of electric power for new investments over the past four years and the transfer of over 25,728 hectares of developed land to investors within just nine months of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial empowerment has also reached unprecedented levels, with credit for small and medium industries projecting from 8.1 billion to 50 billion ETB (Annual growth of 12 billion ETB), while large scale manufacturers saw financing incremental from 52 billion to 262 billion ETB (Annual growth of 55 Billion ETB). Supported by macroeconomic reforms, $2.28 billion in foreign currency was channeled to major producers, driving 14% annual growth in forex access and boosting average capacity utilization from 47% to 67%. Consequently, the sector\u2019s annual growth rate accelerated from 4.8% in 2022 to 10.7% in 2025, pushing manufacturing output to 195.4 billion ETB. As evidenced by World Bank data showing an 8.4% value added increase and $433.8 million in export earnings, Ethiopia is tangibly asserting its industrial sovereignty and anchoring its journey toward shared prosperity on an unshakeable foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing export earnings rose from $358M in 2014 to $433.8M in 2018, while import substitution saved over $4.85B in foreign currency during 2018’s first nine months. This boosted the local market share from 30% to 46%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diplomatic gains like joining BRICS and macroeconomic reforms helped attract over 2,800 investments in four years. Furthermore, the sector flourished by establishing 18,000+ small and medium industries and reviving 993 closed factories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By raising public awareness and promoting a society that takes pride in domestic products, Made In Ethiopia is actively working to attract new investors, enhance the exchange of knowledge and technology, and expand market linkages for manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 Made In Ethiopia Expo, which carries large scale objectives, differs from the previous two editions by hosting a significantly higher number of industries, participants, and events. Regarding international participation, it is a historic occasion that has grown in both volume and diversity compared to last year, with foreign entities heavily integrating and showcasing their latest technologies, according to the office of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
