In 2023, Congo continued to rely heavily on imports of expanded polystyrene (EPS), with top exporters being United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Spain, and France. The market remained highly concentrated, as indicated by the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Despite a significant negative growth rate of -81.65%, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.77% demonstrates a potential for future expansion in the EPS import market in Congo. This data suggests a need for further analysis to understand the underlying factors driving these trends and to identify opportunities for market participants.
