In 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on lactic acid imports, with top suppliers being South Africa, China, Germany, Zimbabwe, and Ivory Coast. Despite a low growth rate of -26.59% in 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at a modest 1.76%. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting that these key exporting countries hold significant market power in supplying lactic acid to Zambia. Monitoring these trends can help stakeholders anticipate market shifts and make informed decisions in the lactic acid import industry.

By 2027, the Lactic Acid market in Zambia is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 12.11%, 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.
