Despite the high concentration of biodegradable plastics imports in Zambia in 2024, the top exporting countries such as South Africa, China, India, Lebanon, and Kenya continue to play a significant role in supplying these eco-friendly products. The negative CAGR and growth rate indicate a decline in the market, which could be attributed to various factors such as economic conditions or shifting consumer preferences. However, with the increasing global focus on sustainability, there may be opportunities for growth and innovation in the biodegradable plastics sector in Zambia in the coming years.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
