Riding the wave of reform and opening up Taking advantage of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, the 2019 Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodity Fair is about to set sail!

A strong nation and a prosperous people

Responding to the people's needs

The nation's responsibility

2018 marked the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. In these 40 years, more and more Chinese faces have gone from leaving their homes to going abroad, and more and more enterprises have transformed from "Made in China" to "Created in China." I remember a stirring line from the hit 2018 film "Wolf Warrior 2": A Chinese passport may not be able to take you anywhere in the world, but it can bring you home from anywhere!

A road less traveled

Walk it

To make it a road

A challenging road

Walk it

To find the answer

With the determination to succeed, create unprecedented achievements

"Peaceful coexistence, shared prosperity." In the 40 years of reform and opening up, the country has encouraged and supported domestic enterprises to enter Africa, building a partnership of cooperation and mutual benefit. More and more Chinese companies are investing deeply in Africa, writing a new chapter in the Sino-African friendship, and establishing one eye-catching "Chinese business card" after another on the African continent.

In the 2018 China Enterprise Overseas Image Survey Report (African Edition) shows that projects participated in by Chinese companies in Africa have been widely praised.

When evaluating the impact of Chinese companies on their national economy, Nigeria showed the highest level of recognition.

When asked in which areas they hoped to cooperate with Chinese companies, the survey results were as follows:

Nowadays, more and more Chinese strength is joining the ranks of driving Africa's economy towards prosperity. Previous surveys have shown that there are currently tens of thousands of Chinese companies in Africa. 2018 marked the 18th anniversary of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. At the forum's "coming-of-age" ceremony, we saw more clearly the strategic cooperation and development policy between China and African countries as a community of shared destiny. Avoiding risks and seizing opportunities, the Chinese dragon and the African elephant will take flight together!

Those with shared aspirations

Do not consider mountains and seas distant

To further develop the African market and promote China's trade and investment in Africa, Zhenghe Exhibition has organized the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodity Fair for 12 years.

Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and most populous country, with strong trade influence on neighboring countries and a strong desire to strengthen production capacity cooperation with China. Holding the Nigeria exhibition will help Chinese companies connect with the needs of West Africa, promote the close integration of China's advantageous industries and high-quality production capacity with Africa's industrialization and economic diversification, and bring broad prospects for development to both China and Africa.

After 12 years of upgrades and renovations, in 2018, the image of the China Pavilion comprehensively surpassed other international pavilions, making the "China brand" more standardized and internationalized.

2018 China Pavilion construction site

The 2018 Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodity Fair China Pavilion had 75 exhibitors, mainly from Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan, and Chongqing provinces and municipalities. Of these, 71 were enterprises from Shandong Province, the largest number of exhibitors from Shandong Province in the history of the China Pavilion. There were 60 accompanying personnel and nearly 200 exhibitors.

Exhibits mainly consisted of hardware products, machinery and electrical equipment, building materials, agriculture and food, accounting for 27%, 20%, 19%, and 12%, respectively. It is estimated that more than 10,000 visitors attended, with 3,240 registered business people. Business people mainly came from Nigeria and neighboring ECOWAS countries such as Ghana, Benin, and Niger.

During the exhibition, long-time participants such as Sinotruk, Shandong Shengya Machinery, Jinan Jichai Huaneng Gas-fired Power Generation Equipment, Linyi Fengrui Metal Manufacturing, Shandong Boxing Guanteng Steel Plate, and Linyi Dihe International Trade once again held talks and signed new projects at the exhibition. They, along with Zhenghe Exhibition, have witnessed the growth and transformation of the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodity Fair!

In 2019, we will continue to organize participation in the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodity Fair, taking advantage of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, to connect more high-quality Chinese enterprises and fully interpret the stronger and greater power of the China brand!

Zhenghe Exhibition visited Nigerian automotive technology and other industry associations to promote cooperation on the 2025 Nigeria (Lagos) China Goods Expo.

From January 3rd to 6th, 2025, representatives of Zhenghe Exhibition's overseas staff successively visited the secretariat of the Nigerian Automotive Technicians Association (NATA), the Amalgamated Union of Automobile Motor Mechanics and Technicians of Nigeria (AUOMMATON), and the Motor Mechanics and Technicians Association of Nigeria (MOMTAN). This visit primarily focused on in-depth discussions and exchanges regarding cooperation for the 2025 Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodities Fair. During the meetings, representatives of Zhenghe Exhibition's overseas staff introduced the basic situation of the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodities Fair to the heads of the business associations. The heads of the various business associations acknowledged the significant achievements made by the exhibition in recent years. During the discussions, the three industry association leaders provided detailed information about their respective associations. As leaders and promoters of associations related to the automotive industry in Nigeria, these three associations have a wide influence in Nigeria and even West Africa. Against the backdrop of continuously deepening and upgrading China-Africa cooperation, they expressed high expectations for actively promoting trade cooperation between Nigeria and China in the automotive industry. The heads of the associations also stated their willingness to work with Zhenghe International Exhibition to jointly promote the continuous development of the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodities Fair, uniformly organize member units to participate in the exhibition, and conduct one-on-one matchmaking discussions with Chinese exhibitors. As Africa's second-largest economy and most populous country, Nigeria has a huge demand for automotive and auto parts products, largely relying on imports. In Nigeria, over 90% of Nigerians tend to choose 'tokunbo' (used cars), which makes the 'tokunbo' distribution business very profitable in Nigeria. With the Nigerian government relaxing age restrictions on imported used cars, the volume of used car imports will further increase. Consequently, the auto parts market, both upstream and downstream of Nigeria's used car industry chain, will also see more opportunities. After years of operation by Chinese automakers, Chinese cars have established considerable 'prestige' in Nigeria. At the same time, the scarcity of local car repair outlets and the high cost of spare parts in Nigeria also indicate immense potential for Chinese auto parts exports to the Nigerian market.

Deep cultivation of fertile soil ensures abundant blossoms - The 2025 Nigeria Lagos China Commodities Fair embarks on a new journey!

Nigeria is an important trade partner and investment destination for China in Africa, and also China's largest contracted project market in Africa. In 2023, the new contract value for Chinese enterprises' contracted engineering business in Nigeria reached 10.45 billion USD, with a turnover of 3.98 billion USD. On September 3, 2024, China and Nigeria issued a joint statement announcing the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership, promoting the building of a high-level China-Nigeria community with a shared future, and explicitly strengthening cooperation in areas such as infrastructure construction. Chinese Products are Hot-selling in the Nigerian Market under the Framework of China-Africa Cooperation According to data from the General Administration of Customs, from January to July 2024, China's imports and exports with Africa totaled 1.19 trillion CNY, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%. In 2023, China-Africa trade reached a historical peak of 282.1 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 1.5%, demonstrating the strong resilience of China-Africa trade. Among them, trade between Nigeria and China is booming. In 2023, the total trade volume between China and Nigeria soared to an astonishing 281.777 billion USD, with China's exports to Nigeria reaching 172.469 billion USD, highlighting the immense appeal of Chinese products in the Nigerian market. The main hot-selling products fall into the following major categories: 1. Electromechanical Products and Agricultural Machinery Products From efficient power generation equipment to reliable electrical products, China's electromechanical products have continuously met Nigeria's growing needs and directly promoted the rapid development of its infrastructure construction. In addition, hardware tools, power tools, construction machinery, and other electromechanical products are also very popular. The import of agricultural machinery, food machinery, and packaging machinery has adapted to the development needs of Nigeria's agriculture and food processing industries. At the same time, industrial manufacturing-related electromechanical products such as machine tools provide strong support for Nigeria's industrial development. 2. Textile and Garment Products Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, with a current population exceeding 227 million, leading to huge domestic market demand. Textiles and clothing are major export items from China to Nigeria, accounting for 15% of China's total exports to Nigeria. Statistics show that in 2022, Nigeria's textile and garment imports reached 110 million USD, with China being its largest source country, accounting for approximately 47% of the total imports, almost half. As Nigeria's urbanization accelerates, more young people are eager to express themselves. In terms of fabrics, wax prints with unique craftsmanship and patterns, and brightly colored African jacquard fabrics are popular; for finished garments, shirts and sportswear with Chinese cultural elements or designs that align with local aesthetic preferences are highly sought after; regarding accessories, exquisite embroidery and unique buttons could also be among the featured products. 3. Auto Parts Products Nigeria is considered Africa's largest potential automotive market. In Nigeria, over 90% of Nigerians prefer "tokunbo" (used cars), making the "tokunbo" distribution business very profitable in Nigeria. With the Nigerian government relaxing age restrictions on imported used cars, the volume of used car imports will further increase. Therefore, the auto parts market, both upstream and downstream of Nigeria's used car industry chain, will also see more opportunities. 4. Wigs and Hair Products Eight out of every 10 Nigerian women wear wigs. Nigerian women have a particular preference for wigs and hair extensions, creating a substantial market for hair products of various sizes and prices. Furthermore, there is also significant demand for hair care products such as shampoos, relaxers, hair creams, and detangling brushes. 5. Building Materials, Hardware Accessories With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous advancement of infrastructure construction in Africa, the African building materials and hardware market is showing vigorous development. 70% of hardware products in the African market rely on imports. The demand for hardware products is mainly concentrated in saw blades, steel pipes, and various types of mechanical hardware. From "Whether to Go" to "How to Go," Enterprises "Have a Soft Spot" for the African Market From surveying the Nigerian market in 2002 to bringing the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodities Expo to the public's attention in 2007. In the blink of an eye, Zhenghe Exhibition has been organizing the Nigeria (Lagos) China Commodities Expo for over 17 years. Throughout the 53 years of China-Nigeria diplomatic relations, Zhenghe Exhibition has made every effort to actively assist in deepening the economic and trade relations between enterprises of both countries! Over these 17 years, we have organized thousands of enterprises from over 20 provinces and cities, including Hebei, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing, to participate in the exhibition. Exhibits covered various fields such as agricultural machinery, vehicles and parts, construction machinery, hardware building materials, power equipment and new energy products, textiles and garments, beauty products, and daily necessities. With the strong support of the nation, we worked together with the participating enterprises to overcome difficulties, enabling each exhibiting enterprise to take root, blossom, and bear fruit in Nigeria! According to incomplete statistics, the 2024 Nigeria Lagos China Commodities Expo achieved an intended transaction volume of 82 million USD on-site, with many popular products signed on the spot. 2025, Embarking on a New Journey In nearly two decades of deeply cultivating Africa, we have witnessed the beautiful scenery and unique charm of the African continent, and even more strongly felt the African people's fervent aspiration and passionate pursuit of a better life. We have also jointly witnessed the transformation of Chinese enterprises in Africa from scratch to growth, from daily necessities to steel, aluminum, and mechanical equipment. The African market has demonstrated unprecedented investment potential and development opportunities. At this critical period in the development of China-Africa relations, Zhenghe Exhibition will actively combine our "first-mover advantage" with "African endowments," act as a bridge, and facilitate more "Made in China" products entering and becoming popular in Africa.
