In 2024, Zambia continued to rely heavily on imports of rigid transparent plastic, with top exporters being India, South Africa, China, Malawi, and Cocos Isds. Despite a concerning trend of declining Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -26.78% from 2020-24 and a sharp decrease in growth rate of -79.62% from 2023-24, the market remained highly concentrated with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024. This indicates a need for diversification and strategic planning to address the challenges faced by the Zambian rigid transparent plastic import market.

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.
