In 2024, Cape Verde continued to heavily rely on Portugal for palmitic acid imports, with a highly concentrated market indicated by the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Despite the negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -24.72% from 2020 to 2024 and a steep decline in growth rate of -53.36% from 2023 to 2024, the market dynamics in Cape Verde suggest a stable but potentially challenging environment for palmitic acid importers. Monitoring shifts in trade patterns and exploring diversification strategies may be key for businesses operating in this market.

Cabo Verde's Palmitic Acid market is anticipated to experience a stable growth rate of 4.14% by 2027, reflecting trends observed in the largest economy Egypt, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.
