Dominica light duty vehicle import shipments in 2023 were largely dominated by exporters such as Japan, United States of America, United States Virgin Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda. However, the market concentration, as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained very high, indicating limited competition. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the market was -20.67%, with a growth rate of -34.96%, reflecting a significant decline in the import volume of light duty vehicles in Dominica. The market dynamics suggest a challenging environment for importers and potential opportunities for market diversification.

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.
