In 2023, Cameroon saw a steady inflow of smart finance hardware imports, with top exporters including China, Netherlands, Ivory Coast, Ireland, and France. The market remained moderately concentrated, indicating a balance among key players. However, the industry experienced a declining compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -8.03%, contrasting with a positive growth rate of 9.58%. This discrepancy suggests a challenging market environment that may require strategic adaptations by importers and stakeholders in the smart finance hardware sector to capitalize on emerging opportunities and address potential threats.

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.
