In 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on imports of extruded polystyrene, with South Africa, Hong Kong, and China being the top exporting countries. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market for these imports. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.08% from 2020 to 2024, there was a notable decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -32.17%. This suggests a potential shift or challenge in the market dynamics for extruded polystyrene imports into Zambia.
