Our intelligent report offers a comprehensive overview of the African transportation and logistics sector, based on various sources in early July 2025, highlighting a dual narrative of external challenges and internal integration. A significant focus is placed on the escalating US-South Africa trade dispute, including the imposition of tariffs that threaten South Africa's key export industries like automotive and agriculture, while also serving as a catalyst for the country to diversify its trade relations and embrace the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Conversely, the sources illustrate a powerful push towards continental integration, emphasizing strategic infrastructure development fueled by investment-led partnerships, exemplified by over $2.5 billion in deals from the US-Africa Business Summit. Finally, the report provides a sector-by-sector analysis of transport, noting progress in aviation and ambitious rail projects alongside persistent inefficiencies in maritime and urban mobility, particularly contrasting Kigali's transformation with Johannesburg's public transport crisis, and underscoring the potential of private sector e-mobility innovations.
