Leapfrog growth in global buyer scale and breakthrough in coverage across regions

Since the launch of the buyer invitation work, this exhibition has adhered to the exhibition concept of "procurement as the core and transaction as the goal", built a three-dimensional buyer recruitment system of "organizing committee targeted invitation+local team deep cultivation+official chamber of commerce transportation", and promoted the continuous leapfrog growth of the scale of buyers. From the precise landing of the first batch of 163 core purchasers, to the gathering of over 1300 professional buyers in the second batch, and to the total number of registrations exceeding 5000 after the release of the third batch list, the scale of exhibition buyers has doubled in a short period of time, setting a new record for inviting professional exhibition buyers in the Central African machinery industry. The third batch of purchasers announced this time further expanded the global coverage of the exhibition. In addition to the African core markets such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, South Africa, Liberia, and so on, they also simultaneously attracted professional procurement enterprises from the United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and other major economies in the world, forming a high-quality buyer cluster "based in East Africa, radiating across Africa, and connecting to the world", so as to build a core platform for exhibitors to connect to multinational markets and expand global channels at one time.

Accurate matching of procurement needs across all categories, closely aligned with the urgent needs of African industrial upgrading

From the perspective of procurement demand, the purchasing intentions of 5000 buyers are highly aligned with the five core categories of the exhibition, forming a list of essential purchases covering the entire industry chain. In the field of construction machinery and mining machinery, there is a concentrated demand for excavators, loaders, drilling rigs, crushing equipment, concrete equipment, mining machinery accessories, etc., closely following the trend of infrastructure construction and mineral resource development in Africa; In the field of agricultural machinery, tractors, irrigation equipment, agricultural machinery, agricultural product processing machinery, greenhouse equipment, etc. are highly favored to meet the needs of modern agricultural development in Africa; In the field of automotive and motorcycle parts, there is a strong demand for motorcycle parts, automotive spare parts, tires, maintenance equipment, and new energy motorcycle parts, which matches the upgrading trend of the African transportation market; In the field of electromechanical hardware, electric tools, electrical products, safety protection equipment, industrial spare parts, cables, building hardware, etc. have become procurement hotspots, covering the full range of industrial demand in Africa. The third batch of buyers will further fill the gaps in high-end categories, adding a large number of new energy supporting equipment, intelligent agricultural machinery, mining intelligent equipment, and automotive electronic control system procurement needs, which are highly in line with China's high-end manufacturing direction.

The highlights of the third batch of purchasers are prominent, and the cooperation landing ability continues to strengthen

The third batch of newly added buyers released this time is the core result of months of precise screening and on-site docking by the organizing committee. It has the characteristics of clearer procurement needs, stronger willingness to cooperate, and more efficient implementation and conversion. All purchasers have undergone strict qualification review, possess real procurement needs, stable payment ability, and independent procurement decision-making authority. The organizing committee has completed the demand survey in advance, clarified the procurement category, budget, and cooperation mode, and ensured accurate and efficient docking. Among this batch of purchasers, the proportion of terminal procurement enterprises has significantly increased. A large number of local engineering, mining, agriculture, and automotive repair enterprises from Africa directly participated in the conference, skipping intermediate trade links and establishing long-term direct supply cooperation with participating enterprises. The stability of cooperation and profit margins have been greatly enhanced.
