dmg events, an international organiser of business-to-business exhibitions, has announced the launch of the West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo, which will take place from 6–8 April 2027 at Landmark Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
The new exhibition comes as investment in West Africa’s logistics sector continues to grow, supported by the expansion of e-commerce, manufacturing, urbanisation and regional trade.
The region’s freight and logistics market was valued at $27.58 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $37.17 billion by 2030, according to Mordor Intelligence. The growth is increasing demand for warehousing, distribution networks and logistics technologies across the region.
dmg events is expanding its African portfolio to support the sector, building on more than a decade of experience delivering exhibitions across the continent. Since establishing its presence in Africa in 2015, the company has operated through offices in Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, delivering events 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.
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.”
As logistics parks, industrial hubs and free zones expand across West Africa, businesses are seeking solutions to improve efficiency, resilience and operational performance. West Africa Warehousing & Logistics Expo will bring together suppliers, buyers and industry professionals to explore solutions across warehouse automation, storage, inventory management, storage systems, identification and labelling, loading and distribution.
The event will be co-located with HVACR Nigeria, highlighting the relationship between warehousing, logistics and climate-controlled infrastructure. With distribution centres, cold storage facilities and industrial hubs expanding across the region, HVACR solutions will play a role in supporting energy efficiency, product integrity and reliable operations.
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.
