Luthuli Avenue Electronics Wholesale District

Luthuli Avenue in central Nairobi is known as the city's electronics capital: commercial blocks such as Sky Mall, Luthuli House and Kangari House hold hundreds of dealers in electronics, phone accessories, TVs, sound systems and lighting fixtures, trading wholesale and retail. Many shops source directly from China and supply East Africa's retail and repair networks. It remains fully operational and open for trade according to recent trade reporting, and on-site visits by prospective overseas suppliers are welcomed by the resident traders.

Its core is wholesale consumer electronics, phone accessories, TVs, audio systems, LED lighting and home appliances, with repair services attached and pricing aimed at small-shop bulk buyers. Chinese exporters of consumer electronics, lighting and digital accessories can find East African distributors here. Chinese exporters planning market entry are advised to arrange on-site visits and work with local agents to establish their first working contacts with resident wholesalers.
