The shopping trolley market in Ethiopia is driven by the growing retail sector, especially as supermarkets and shopping centers become more prevalent in urban areas.

With the expansion of the retail infrastructure in cities such as Addis Ababa, the need for durable and functional shopping trolleys is growing.

The shopping trolley market in Ethiopia is affected by limited demand, as many retail outlets are small-scale and operate in informal markets, where shopping trolleys are less common. Additionally, the lack of organized retail chains with large customer bases reduces the demand for such products. High costs due to importing trolleys and a lack of local manufacturing for these products create barriers to market growth. Furthermore, retailers often opt for cheaper alternatives, such as baskets or bags, which further limits the demand for shopping trolleys.

Policies that promote the development of shopping malls, supermarkets, and modern retail outlets in urban areas contribute to the increasing demand for shopping trolleys. Furthermore, safety and hygiene regulations in retail environments require shopping trolleys to meet certain standards.
