In 2023, Cameroon continued to rely on imports of machinery, with top exporters being Italy, China, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Belgium. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. However, the industry experienced a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -6.99%, along with a significant decline in growth rate at -24.67%. This suggests a challenging environment for machinery imports in Cameroon, highlighting the need for strategic adjustments and market diversification efforts by both importers and exporters.
By 2027, the Machinery market in Cameroon is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 8.52%, 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.
