The inaugural event will take place from 6 – 8 April 2027, reflecting the increasing demand for warehousing, distribution and supply chain solutions

Lagos, Nigeria – 13 August 2026: dmg events, a leading international organizer of business-to-business exhibitions, continues to expand its footprint in Africa with the launch of West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo, set to take place from 6-8 April 2027. The launch comes at a time of accelerating investment in the logistics industry across West Africa, driven by the growth of e-commerce, manufacturing, urbanization and regional trade.

Across West Africa, evolving supply chains are accelerating investment in warehousing, distribution networks and logistics technologies. The region’s freight and logistics market is valued at $27.58 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $37.17 billion by 2030 (Source: Mordor Intelligence), reflecting the increasing need for efficient solutions that support the movement and storage of goods.

Drawing on its international expertise and more than a decade of experience delivering industry-leading exhibitions across Africa, dmg events is expanding its portfolio to support this growing sector. Since establishing its presence on the continent in 2015, the company has delivered leading business events through its offices in Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, including Big 5 Construct Egypt, Transport Evolution Africa, EGYPES, Big 5 Construct Nigeria, Nigeria Energy Week, Big 5 Construct Ethiopia, WAMPEX and Big 5 Construct South Africa, among others.

Commenting on the launch, Matt Denton, President, dmg events, said: “Nigeria is a natural home for West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo. Driven by the rapid expansion of e-commerce, industrial development and increasingly sophisticated supply chains, Nigeria’s logistics sector reflects the wider transformation taking place across West Africa. Building on our experience delivering warehousing and logistics events, including Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo, we bring established industry expertise and connections to create opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange and growth across Africa.”

Supporting the growth of West Africa’s logistics ecosystem

As logistics parks, industrial hubs and free zones expand across West Africa, businesses are seeking solutions that improve efficiency, resilience and operational performance. Responding to these industry needs, West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo will bring together suppliers, buyers and industry professionals to explore technologies across warehouse automation, storage, inventory management, storage systems, identification and labelling, and loading and distribution.

Co-located with HVACR Nigeria, the event will also highlight the connection between warehousing, logistics and climate-controlled infrastructure. As distribution centres, cold storage facilities and industrial hubs grow across the region, demand is rising for HVACR solutions that support energy efficiency, product integrity and reliable operations. Bringing these sectors together creates opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing and business development across West Africa’s evolving industrial and logistics landscape.

West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo will take place from 6 – 8 April 2027 at Landmark Centre, Lagos, Nigeria. Entry is free for trade professionals over 21 years of age.
