In 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on imports for breakfast foods, with top suppliers being South Africa, Egypt, India, Malaysia, and Belgium. Despite a high concentration of market share, the industry experienced a negative compound annual growth rate of -3.22% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate plummeted further in 2024, dropping by -13.97%. This indicates a challenging environment for breakfast food importers in Zambia, possibly influenced by various economic factors affecting trade dynamics.

In the Africa region, the Breakfast Food market in Zambia is projected to expand at a high growth rate of 11.78% by 2027. The largest economy is Egypt, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.

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.
