Affordability plays a crucial role in consumer choices, and used cars are often more accessible due to their lower prices compared to brand-new vehicles. African consumers often prioritize affordability and reliability when purchasing vehicles. Fuel efficiency, durability, and suitability for rough road conditions are key considerations. Compact cars and SUVs are popular choices due to their versatility and practicality. Chinese automakers have gained a significant presence in the African car market over the last decade. Chinese manufacturers offer affordable vehicles tailored to the needs and budgets of African consumers. They have been successful in capturing market share, especially in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Kenya.
