Barbados continues to heavily rely on imports of cardboard packaging material, with key suppliers in 2024 being Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, USA, and Costa Rica. The market shows high concentration with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024. Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4% from 2020 to 2024, there was a notable decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -8.53%. This suggests a potential slowdown in the demand for cardboard packaging materials in Barbados, possibly influenced by economic factors or shifting consumer preferences.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
