The Africa automotive market is expected to register a CAGR of about 7.48% over the forecast period. This market is the most underdeveloped automobile market in the world. Apart from South Africa and other small countries, the Africa automotive market is one of the slow growing markets, globally. The major reasons for this limited growth have been the extremely low-average income and the lack of a sizeable middle-class population. Also, the extremely high lending rates have made ownership of a car restricted only to the wealthy and prosperous. Ghana, a promising market, has a car loan interest rate of nearly 26%. This makes taking out a car loan an expensive proposition, which is derailing the automotive market in the country. Even the biggest economy of Africa, Nigeria has a loan interest rate of about 12%.
