LCCI hosts Lagos International Trade Fair
The 2025 Lagos International Trade Fair is set to hold from 7–16 November 2025 at the historic Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos.
Organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), the fair remains one of the most prominent business events in West Africa, attracting exhibitors, investors and visitors from across Nigeria and around the world.
This year’s edition carries renewed significance as businesses continue to adapt to global shifts in technology, manufacturing and consumer behaviour.
The Lagos International Trade Fair serves as a bridge between local industries and international partners, offering a platform where ideas, products and innovations converge.
Over 3,000 exhibitors from sectors such as agriculture, construction, energy, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications, consumer electronics, textiles, fashion, furniture, personal care, food, beverage and financial services are expected to showcase a diverse range of products and solutions.
The fair has long been known for creating an environment where multinational corporations, SMEs, startups and entrepreneurs can meet, exchange knowledge and explore new opportunities. With Nigeria’s position as one of Africa’s most strategic markets, the event provides fertile ground for building long-term trade relationships and exploring emerging opportunities.
The 2025 fair stands out as businesses increasingly adopt digital tools, automation and globally competitive manufacturing practices.
Lagos remains the Nigeria’s commercial heartbeat, and hosting the fair at TBS—one of the city’s most iconic cultural and civic spaces, reinforces the importance of the event to Nigeria’s commercial landscape.
International participation is expected to be strong again this year, with several nations preparing national pavilions to showcase products ranging from industrial machinery to consumer goods. This global involvement highlights the fair’s role in promoting international trade and fostering cross-border partnerships.
What Visitors Can Expect
TBS will transform into a vibrant marketplace filled with product displays, innovation zones, sales booths and corporate exhibits.
Across its vast exhibition space, visitors will encounter:
- Direct engagement with manufacturers, distributors and service providers
- New product launches and demonstrations
- Industry-focused seminars, workshops and networking sessions
- Opportunities for trade negotiations, partnerships and bulk purchases
- A mix of business-focused and consumer-friendly exhibitions
The 2025 Lagos International Trade Fair promises to be a dynamic and impactful event, offering a platform for commerce, innovation and collaboration on a global scale. For businesses looking to expand, connect or introduce new offerings to the African market, the fair presents a valuable opportunity.
