Zambia`s import shipments of refractory materials in 2024 continued to be dominated by key exporting countries such as Austria, China, South Africa, India, and Australia. Despite a decrease in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 remained strong at 26.02%. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated a shift from very high concentration in 2023 to high concentration in 2024, highlighting the competitive landscape within the market. This data suggests a stable yet competitive environment for refractory materials imports into Zambia.

By 2027, the Refractory Materials market in Zambia is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 7.83%, as part of an increasingly competitive Africa region, where Egypt remains at the forefront, supported by South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Nigeria, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.
