In 2024, Senegal continued to rely on key exporters such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Italy, India, and China for palmitic acid imports. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating market concentration, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was modest at 0.86%. However, the negative growth rate of -27.67% highlights a significant decline in import demand for palmitic acid in Senegal. This trend suggests a shifting market landscape that may require further analysis and strategic considerations for both exporters and local stakeholders.
In the Africa region, the Palmitic Acid market in Senegal is projected to expand at a exponential growth rate of 18.50% by 2027. The largest economy is Egypt, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.
