Despite a significant decrease in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on imports of silica sand, with top exporting countries being South Africa, China, Germany, Turkey, and India. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024 indicates a concentrated market, potentially impacting competition and pricing. The negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 suggests challenges in the silica sand import market in Zambia. Monitoring market dynamics and exploring strategies to diversify import sources may be crucial for stakeholders in the industry.

By 2027, the Silica Sand market in Zambia is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 2.30%, 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.
