Market Overview
Angolan Chemicals Market to Remain Unscathed by Economic Downturn, Register Strong Growth
The Angolan chemicals market is set for robust expansion. The specialty chemicals segment exhibits the strongest resilience to the prevailing market conditions in the short-term. In the medium- and long- terms, the sector is poised to witness high growth. “The construction and mining and oilfield end-user segments in the specialty chemicals market are poised to show the strongest growth,” notes the analyst of this research. “The end of the civil war and the subsequent economic reforms undertaken by the government has played an important role in the growth of the chemicals market in Angola.”
Government investments towards rebuilding the country’s infrastructure have driven the demand for chemicals, and the relatively stable political situation has encouraged greater investment into the country’s manufacturing, oil and agriculture sectors. As the manufacturing industry expands, there is likely to be enhanced demand for specialty operational chemicals, additives and raw material inputs.
High Initial Costs Pose Formidable Entry Barrier
Angola has one of the highest costs of establishing a business in Africa. This includes costs related to acquiring land or office space, registration processes and acquiring the necessary equipment. In addition, living costs in the country are very high. “These considerable initial costs are accompanied by the significant ongoing costs for services and goods,” adds the analyst. “This presents a major barrier to entry as it increases the financial risks involved in entering the country, which is largely still considered high risk.” However, the prospect of sizeable returns and the high growth potential of the Angolan chemicals market continue to attract investments into the country.
Due to the high demand for energy, the oil sector has shown itself to be attractive for investment into the Angolan market despite the barriers to entry. “In other chemicals sectors, in-depth market analysis and the development of end-user relationships prior to establishment in the country are key success factors, “states the analyst. “Entry into the Angolan market through distributors or through direct supply to multinational companies based in the country is a common strategy employed by new market participants.”
