African Free Trade Area can herald $12 billion growth for the continent’s automotive industry


This article is brought to you thanks to the collaboration of The European Sting with the World Economic Forum. For the automotive industry, that’s a significant opportunity. Today, Morocco and South Africa are leading the way as major players in the automotive sector, making up 80% of African exports, with Algeria also experiencing rapid growth. Reduced tariffs across the continent for inputs like aluminum from Mozambique or rubber in Cote d’Ivoire will mean the African industry as a whole becomes more dynamic. Africa could be a key region for promoting sustainable mobility by harnessing renewable energy as demand for electric vehicles and motor vehicles grows.
