Event Details
About the event
Globally the world of mobility is rapidly evolving, largely pushed by the need to decarbonise the world economy by 2050. For mobility, technological developments are enabling the movement from traditional internal combustion engines towards electric vehicles (EV) and other alternative propulsion motors. Although electric vehicles still account for a marginal share of global vehicle sales, governments of some of the biggest automotive markets have declared their intention and taken steps to embrace electric vehicles in order to decarbonise and curb emissions.
As part of the e-mobility revolution, African governments must put policy and regulatory measures in place (i.e. local content requirements) for Africa to play a meaningful role in value chains in the e-mobility sector. As such, investment in value chains in the automotive industry on the continent must be encouraged to ensure that Africa continues to play an important part in this sector in the future.
The e-mobility revolution in Africa heralds a new era of sustainable transport, driven by the need to combat congestion, pollution, and high fuel costs. In Africa, a transition is taking place in mobility systems. Electric vehicles, buses and motorcycles in particular, are gradually being integrated into urban transport systems. These developments are not taking place uniformly across the continent but are tending toward the same goal of decarbonizing transport.
The Electric Vehicles market in Africa is projected to reach a revenue of US$85.6m in 2024. It is expected to exhibit an annual growth rate (CAGR 2024-2028) of 17.33%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$162.2m by 2028.
The market growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market in Africa is influenced by several factors, including government policies, infrastructure development, consumer awareness, and the availability of EV models. Here's an analysis of the market growth for electric vehicles in Africa.
The Electric Vehicles market in Africa is experiencing significant growth and development, driven by various factors such as customer preferences, market trends, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in Africa are shifting towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation options, leading to an increased demand for electric vehicles.
The growth of the EV market in Africa is closely tied to government policies and incentives aimed at promoting clean transportation. Some African countries have implemented measures such as tax incentives, import duty waivers, and subsidies for EV purchases to encourage adoption. Additionally, regulations mandating emissions reductions and promoting renewable energy may also drive EV uptake.
The lack of charging infrastructure remains a significant challenge for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in Africa. However, there are efforts underway to address this issue through public and private investments in charging stations, especially in urban centers and along major transportation routes. The expansion of charging infrastructure is crucial for alleviating range anxiety among potential EV buyers and supporting the growth of the market.
Africa represents an emerging market with immense potential for electric vehicles, driven by factors such as rising urbanization, increasing environmental awareness, and a growing middle class. As EV technology continues to advance and become more affordable, the African market is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years, presenting opportunities for investment and innovation
Overall, the market growth of electric vehicles in Africa hinges on the concerted efforts of policymakers, industry stakeholders, and civil society to address infrastructure challenges, promote consumer awareness, and create supportive regulatory frameworks. With the right incentives and investments, Africa has the potential to become a key market for electric vehicles in the future.
E-Mobility and Infrastructure Africa conference 2025 will position itself as the leading premier event for the Africa electric vehicle sector. With its interactive format of panel discussions, presentations, open discussion allowing for engaging Q&A, and structured business networking opportunities.
The E-Mobility and Infrastructure Africa is an event where industry leaders will showcase the latest technologies for electromobility and innovative solutions in this field. The E-Mobility and Infrastructure Africa summit will allow participants to update their knowledge, gain new skills, and learn about the latest trends in electromobility. Join us at the E-Mobility and Infrastructure Africa conference, which is an excellent opportunity to establish new business relationships and exchange experiences. The dynamic environment of the fair promotes business growth through direct contact with potential partners and competitors.
Together, we can drive positive change and create a future that is not only sustainable but also prosperous and equitable for all.
