Drawing on the Group’s practical experience and official cooperation resources, Ms. Amelia outlined Nigeria’s strategic importance as Africa’s largest automotive parts market, the key challenges currently facing the industry, and practical pathways for Chinese companies to enter the market. These include regulatory compliance and market access, product adaptation to local conditions, and digital solutions that efficiently connect supply with demand.

She emphasized that, supported by digital platforms and cooperation with relevant government and industry institutions, Chinese automotive parts companies can adopt a phased approach—progressing from trade and distribution to localized production—while capturing opportunities arising from both the growth of Africa’s automotive aftermarket and the transition toward new-energy mobility.

Sichuan Hejia will continue to deepen industrial cooperation between China and Nigeria and support high-quality Chinese automotive parts companies in entering the West African market efficiently, steadily, and sustainably.
