In 2023, Gabon continued to see a significant volume of iron oxide imports, with key exporters such as Germany, China, UK, France, and Turkey dominating the market. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market landscape, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.23%, showcasing strong sustained growth. The impressive growth rate of 147.13% highlights the increasing demand for iron oxide in Gabon and underscores the importance of these key exporting countries in meeting that demand.

By 2027, Gabon's Iron Oxide market is forecasted to achieve a growing growth rate of 5.36%, with Egypt leading the Africa region, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.

The iron oxide market in Gabon is growing due to its use in various applications, including pigments, construction, and water treatment. The demand for iron oxide is driven by the increasing use of colored pigments in the construction and paint industries as Gabons infrastructure development continues to grow.
The Gabon Iron Oxide market is being driven by its extensive use in the construction, manufacturing, and automotive industries. Iron oxide pigments are widely used in coatings, paints, and concrete products for their color durability and stability. As Gabon continues to develop its infrastructure and industrial base, the demand for iron oxide pigments in construction and industrial coatings is increasing. Additionally, the use of iron oxide in the production of catalysts and in environmental applications such as wastewater treatment further supports market growth.
The Gabon Iron Oxide market is hindered by the lack of local production capacity, forcing businesses to rely on imports, which increases the cost of raw materials. The market is also constrained by limited industrial applications, as iron oxide is primarily used in specific industries like construction and paints. Moreover, fluctuations in global iron ore prices can affect the cost of production, making it difficult for local businesses to stabilize pricing.
The iron oxide market in Gabon is supported by government policies promoting industrial growth in construction, manufacturing, and mining. Policies that encourage the use of iron oxide in various applications such as pigments, coatings, and catalysts contribute to market expansion.
