Gabon`s polyoxymethylene import shipments in 2023 continued to be dominated by top exporters such as India, United Kingdom, France, Canada, and Czech Republic. Despite the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating a concentrated market, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -53.55% and a growth rate of -89.39% in 2023 suggest a significant decline in import volumes. This trend may reflect shifting dynamics in the global polyoxymethylene market and changing preferences in Gabon`s industrial sector.

The polyoxymethylene (POM) market in Gabon is gaining traction due to the growing demand for this high-performance polymer in industries such as automotive, electronics, and manufacturing. POM, also known as acetal, is valued for its excellent dimensional stability, low friction properties, and high strength. These characteristics make it ideal for use in precision parts such as gears, bearings, and electrical components. As Gabons automotive and manufacturing sectors expand, the demand for POM in the production of durable, high-performance components is expected to increase.
The polyoxymethylene (POM) market in Gabon is benefiting from the growing demand for high-strength, low-friction materials in industries such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods. POM, also known as acetal, is used in the manufacturing of precision parts that require excellent mechanical properties, such as gears, bearings, and electrical connectors. As Gabons industrial and automotive sectors continue to grow, the demand for durable, high-performance materials like POM is increasing, further driving the growth of the POM market in the region.
The polyoxymethylene market faces issues such as limited availability of advanced technologies for local production and a lack of skilled labor. High import dependency and competition from other engineering plastics further challenge market growth.
The polyoxymethylene (POM) market in Gabon is experiencing growth, driven by the increasing demand for high-performance engineering plastics in automotive and electrical applications.
