Africa is the second most populous continent in the world, with a rapid population growth rate, with a total population of about 1.4 billion people, and the young population accounts for up to 70%. The undeveloped "first-class land", "cross-border new blue ocean" and "nuggetable trillion market" have become new labels for Africa, and Africa occupies an increasingly important position in the world's leading market.
China has a deep economic and trade relationship with Africa, and China has maintained its position as Africa's largest partner country for 14 consecutive years, with nearly 90% of Africa's local products made in China, with a rich range of demand. In 2021, the import and export volume of China and Africa reached 2,542900 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 36%;In 2022, the amount of Central Africa** further increased to 282 billion US dollars, a record high.

At the 2024 African Economic Outlook and Project Release and the 15th Anniversary Annual Conference of the China-Africa Industrial Cooperation and Development Forum, three expectations for China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in 2024 were put forward, as follows:
|The amount of China and Africa has been further improved
The amount of Central Africa has been further increased and is expected to reach 300 billion US dollars. The import of energy and minerals has expanded, the bulk goods have increased in small steps, the export of agricultural products to China has grown rapidly, and the demand for vocational and technical education and training has increased.
|Overseas warehouse and overseas logistics
The overseas warehouse of the international ** chain and the large African market ushered in new opportunities. Many e-commerce platforms and export enterprises will lay out overseas logistics systems through the construction of "overseas warehouses".
|Development in non-investment and industrial parks
The steady development of the China-Africa Industrial Park will usher in the peak of enterprise settlement. In recent years, the purchasing power of the African market has increased, and Chinese enterprises have invested and built factories in Africa, and Chinese enterprises have successively invested, built and operated industrial parks in Africa, providing an important guarantee for China-Africa industrial and economic and trade cooperation.
Note: 2023 Kenya Exhibition Site**.
In recent years, more and more Chinese enterprises have entered Africa to help Africa's industrialization and economic diversification, and Chinese enterprises have more confidence in the African market. There is a broad space for China-Africa cooperation, and in 2024, we look forward to more Chinese foreign trade enterprises going out and exploring the international market
