Cameroon saw significant imports of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and gamma butyrolactone (GBL) in 2023, with Belgium and India emerging as the top exporters to the country. Despite a very high concentration level based on the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the market experienced a notable decline in compound annual growth rate (CAGR) at -62.06%. However, the growth rate for these imports surged by 134.63%, indicating a potential rebound in demand and market activity for THF and GBL in Cameroon.
