Despite the high concentration of palmitic acid imports to Congo in 2023, the top exporters such as United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and France continue to dominate the market. However, the negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -58.65% and a growth rate of -37.82% indicate a significant decline in import shipments. This trend may be influenced by various factors affecting the market dynamics, and it will be crucial for stakeholders to closely monitor and adapt to these changes for future strategies.
In the Africa region, the Palmitic Acid market in Democratic Republic of the Congo is projected to expand at a high growth rate of 11.33% by 2027. The largest economy is Egypt, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.
