Maldives continues to rely on key suppliers such as Malaysia, India, China, Indonesia, and UAE for talc and steatite imports in 2024, maintaining a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration. Despite a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -4.05% from 2020 to 2024, there is a slight improvement with a growth rate of 1.59% in 2024 compared to the previous year. This indicates a steady but slow recovery in the talc and steatite import market for Maldives, with potential opportunities for further growth and diversification in the coming years.
