Cape Verde`s structural core materials import market in 2024 saw significant contributions from top exporters including Portugal, Brazil, China, Spain, and the United States. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. Despite the challenging growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 4-year period remained positive at 6.04%. This suggests a steady expansion in demand for structural core materials in Cape Verde, driven by imports from key trading partners.

The structural core materials market in Cape Verde includes products like foam cores, honeycomb, and balsa, used extensively in industries such as aerospace, marine, wind energy, and construction. These materials are valued for their lightweight properties and strength, enhancing the durability and performance of composite structures. The market growth is linked to advancements in composite material applications and increasing demand for lightweight and high-strength materials.
The structural core materials market in Cape Verde is primarily driven by the construction and marine industries. The need for lightweight yet strong materials in building infrastructure and boat manufacturing supports the demand for structural core materials, such as foam cores and honeycomb cores, which provide high strength-to-weight ratios.
The structural core materials market in Cape Verde faces constraints due to the limited demand from industries such as aerospace, marine, and construction, which are the primary consumers of structural core materials. High import costs and a lack of local production facilities further restrict market growth. Additionally, there is limited knowledge about the benefits of using advanced structural core materials in providing lightweight and durable components, which can reduce market adoption and hinder the competitiveness of local producers.
Government policies in Cape Verde related to the structural core materials market focus on promoting the construction and manufacturing sectors. The government encourages the use of advanced structural core materials in building and infrastructure projects through incentives for local manufacturers and importers. Policies also include regulations to ensure the safety and performance of these materials. The market faces challenges such as high production costs and limited local expertise, necessitating government support for investment in technology and capacity building in the construction sector.

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.
