The market continues to be highly concentrated, with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating limited competition. Despite a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.07%, the growth rate experienced a slight decline at -4.23%. This suggests a potential shift in market dynamics or external factors impacting the import market for shopping trolleys in Gabon.

By 2027, the Shopping Trolley market in Gabon is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 5.71%, as part of an increasingly competitive Africa region, where Egypt remains at the forefront, supported by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.

The shopping trolley market in Gabon is growing as urbanization and retail expansion continue. With the rise of modern supermarkets and shopping malls in major cities like Libreville, there is an increased demand for durable, ergonomic, and efficient shopping trolleys.

The shopping trolley market in Gabon is fueled by the expansion of retail infrastructure, including supermarkets and hypermarkets, which are becoming more common in urban areas. The changing consumer lifestyle, driven by an increase in disposable incomes, supports the demand for shopping convenience tools such as trolleys. Retailers in Gabon are also responding to global trends by adopting sustainable trolley materials, aligning with consumer preferences for environmentally friendly products.
The shopping trolley market in Gabon faces challenges related to low demand and limited consumer purchasing power, particularly due to the growing trend of e-commerce and home delivery services. With the increasing preference for online shopping, traditional shopping trolleys are seeing reduced usage in physical retail stores. Additionally, the market is confronted with the challenge of ensuring product durability and quality, especially given the humid and often harsh climate conditions in Gabon, which can accelerate wear and tear on trolley materials. Manufacturers also face difficulties in sourcing raw materials, such as high-quality metals and plastics, locally, which can raise production costs. Moreover, there is competition from alternative shopping methods, such as the use of personal carts and baskets.
In Gabon, the shopping trolley market is influenced by local regulations that focus on consumer safety and product standards. The Gabonese government sets guidelines to ensure that shopping trolleys meet safety standards, especially for public use. Additionally, environmental policies encouraging the use of recyclable materials in the production of shopping trolleys are pushing manufacturers toward more sustainable production practices.
