Among the leading sectors of Senegal
- Green Energy Industry : On the one hand, poor energy supply is a major obstacle to Senegal's economic growth. About half of the inhabitants of rural areas still do not have electricity. The country plans to promote the integration of alternative energy sources, especially from solar energy. On the other hand, hydropower plants and water treatment plants must also be built to meet the needs of the entire population. Senegal is the ideal territory to install solar panels.
- Infrastructure Industry : Several public and private construction projects in the Greater Dakar region bring complete order books to construction companies and their suppliers. This situation should continue for some time, as the capital is growing quite fast and many actions will be taken to ensure that the infrastructure is adapted to the growth of the city.
- International Trade : the importation sector in Senegal is booming. Dakar has the second largest port in West Africa, and as a hub for intercontinental air traffic, it also offers very good conditions for engaging in the region.

Currently, there are three mobile service providers and thanks to the Telecommunications and Post Regulatory Agency, the country has an independent supervisory authority for the sector since 2001.
