Malta import shipments of refractory materials in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporting countries such as China, India, Italy, UK, and Spain. Despite a high concentration with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 was notably negative at -19.24%. Furthermore, the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 saw a significant decline of -49.8%, indicating a challenging year for the market. It will be important to closely monitor these trends and factors impacting the import of refractory materials in Malta.
Malta's Refractory Materials market is anticipated to experience a stable growth rate of 2.45% by 2027, reflecting trends observed in the largest economy Germany, followed by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia.
