Slide of the month (SOTM) April. Spark plug market Nigeria

Within a large independent aftermarket (IAM) project in the automotive sector for Nigeria, africon GmbH had the chance to interview more than 50 experts and found that the IAM market in Nigeria is strongly dominated by fake products. A good example is the spark plug market where fakes in 2015 were at 65% but increased to almost 80% in 2016. According to an expert in the IAM market in West Africa, Chinese suppliers have lowered the quality of fakes to meet the lower buying power of Nigerian clients. The current market leader is NGK from Japan with a strong distribution by Asahi Brands. Other brands are distributed through various players e.g. Hydrotrans but also by OEMs e.g. Bosch.
