South Africa is the only significant automotive manufacturing nation in Sub-Saharan region and accounts for about 80 percent of the sub-continents output, with still unexploited opportunities to develop, produce and market vehicles to African operating requirements. The South African automotive industry ranks 18th in the world as far as vehicle production is concerned. There are approximately 400 automotive component manufacturers, most seeking foreign partners for technology market access, process know-how, research & development and joint ventures.
For the last eight years, the activity of accessorizing and improving the performance of vehicles has transformed from a hobby to a fully fledged culture of fierce competition,” said Jaisivir Sewpual of the U.S. Embassy in Cape Town, South Africa. “In the race to individualize and distinguish their vehicles from others, enthusiasts constantly seek innovative, authentic specialty components and accessories. In this lucrative segment, South Africans are highly receptive to U.S. brands and often follow trends set in the United States.”
