In 2023, Cameroon hydrocolloids import market continued to be dominated by a select group of countries, with the top exporters being the Philippines, China, Ireland, Italy, and Taiwan. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating significant market concentration, the industry experienced a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.83%. However, the impressive growth rate of 122.15% suggests dynamic shifts within the market, potentially driven by changing consumer preferences or emerging trends. It will be interesting to monitor how these trends evolve and impact the hydrocolloids import market in Cameroon in the coming years.
