Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index indicating market concentration, Zambia`s graphite electrode import shipments in 2024 saw a decline with a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate of -10.38% from 2020 to 2024. Importantly, the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 plummeted by -25.11%. Key exporting countries like the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, China, Botswana, and Hong Kong continue to be significant players in supplying graphite electrodes to Zambia. The market dynamics and trends in 2024 suggest a challenging environment for the graphite electrode import market in Zambia.

By 2027, Zambia's Graphite Electrode market is forecasted to achieve a growing growth rate of 8.22%, with Egypt leading the Africa region, followed by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria.
