In 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on talc imports from a few key countries, with India, France, South Africa, China, and Tanzania leading the pack. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, potentially limiting competition. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 experienced a decline of -0.47%, while the dramatic growth rate reduction of -65.37% from 2023 to 2024 suggests a significant shift or external factor impacting the talc import market in Zambia.

By 2027, the Talc market in Zambia is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 2.67%, 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.
