In 2024, Zambia continued to rely on major suppliers such as China, South Africa, Turkey, Malaysia, and India for agar agar gum imports. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, with limited competition. Despite a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.53% from 2020 to 2024, the negative growth rate of -25.82% in 2023-24 suggests a recent slowdown in demand or supply dynamics. It will be crucial to monitor these trends closely to understand the evolving market landscape and potential challenges for stakeholders in the agar agar gum industry.
