Despite a significant decline in growth rate in 2023, Liberia continued to heavily rely on calcium carbide imports, with top exporters being China, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, potentially posing challenges for competition and pricing. However, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.75% suggests a steady increase in demand over time. Monitoring market dynamics and diversifying import sources could help mitigate risks associated with such high concentration levels.

In the Africa region, the Calcium carbide market in Liberia is projected to expand at a stable growth rate of 2.92% by 2027. The largest economy is Egypt, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.
