The automotive industry is expanding in the African region and is supporting market growth. Major factors like increasing demand for two-wheelers for daily commutes and growing issues of road congestion and traffic are driving the Africa two-wheeler market's growth in the upcoming five years. Affordability, easier purchases, lower maintenance cost as compared to four-wheelers, and advantages over more economical fueling further supports the growth of the Africa two-wheeler market in the next five years. The region accommodates most of the developing countries. Due to the lower economy, consumer preferences toward affordable and easy maintenance vehicles sustain and further drives market growth.

These specific advantages of owning two-wheelers also aid to the growing demand and thus the growth of the Africa two-wheeler market. Growing technological advancements, eco-friendly options, and electric vehicles are some of the other factors further driving the growth of the Africa two-wheeler market in the forecast years through 2026.
