Used Car Strategy and Development Forum 2025

As one of the world's most promising emerging markets, Africa is rapidly becoming a key destination for China's used vehicle exports. The market share of Chinese used vehicles in the African market has surged from 1.2% in 2020 to 3.8% in 2024, reflecting strong growth momentum. Meanwhile, the policy environment is continuously improving: China has implemented zero-tariff treatment on 100% of product categories for 53 African countries, and restrictions on used vehicle export qualifications have been fully lifted.

A significant number of African nations are actively promoting the transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, creating tremendous opportunities for Chinese NEV exports. However, variations in policies and complex market access rules across African countries highlight the urgent need for industrial exchange and regulatory clarity.

This forum aims to bring together regulatory authorities, industry associations, enterprises representatives, and envoys from African countries to explore opportunities and challenges in used vehicle exports to Africa in the new era, while strengthening industry collaboration and resource alignment.
