Despite a declining Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -3.02% from 2020 to 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on imports of steel drums from top exporters such as South Africa, India, China, Japan, and Zimbabwe. The High Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) suggests a market with very high concentration, indicating potential challenges for competition and pricing. The negative growth rate of -2.12% in 2024 underscores the need for market players to innovate and adapt to changing dynamics in order to sustain and grow their business in Zambia`s steel drum import market.
