Africa’s Car Market Could Explode Overnight (If We Stop This…)

21 Aug 2025

Description

Right now, Africa is a dumping ground for second-hand imports, killing local industry, jobs, and growth. If every African country shut that tap tomorrow, our market could jump from 1 million to 3 million new vehicles a year — instantly.In part 2 of my conversation with Justin Barnes, we break down why Africa’s auto industry is stuck, what needs to change, and how countries like India and China built policies that turned them into automotive giants. Spoiler: it’s not about population size — it’s about serious strategy!Join us as we explore the uncomfortable truths, the massive opportunities, and why Africa could be the next big growth story in global automotive. We also dive into some shocking facts like why Africa has more people who can afford new cars than India… but only sells a fraction of the vehicles!If you liked part 2 of our podcast with Justin, consider hitting that subscribe button.
