In 2023, Gabon continued to heavily rely on imports of refractory materials, with top exporters including India, China, France, United Arab Emirates, and Kenya. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, potentially leading to challenges in terms of competition and pricing. Despite a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 100.71%, the negative growth rate of -17.15% in 2023 suggests a recent decline in import demand for these materials, signaling a need for further analysis and strategic planning in the industry.
The Refractory Materials market in Gabon is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 5.30% by 2027, within the Africa region led by Egypt, along with other countries like South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria, collectively shaping a dynamic and evolving market environment driven by innovation and increasing adoption of emerging technologies.
