Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled The Southern African Oil and Gas Market provides a comprehensive overview of the oil and gas market within Southern Africa. This research service identifies key challenges, drivers and restraints in the oil and gas industry of each country and the impact of these market metrics on the growth of the national markets as a whole. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets by applications: upstream, refining and manufacturing, supply, transmission and trading and downstream. The countries covered in this research service are Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Market Overview
Revival of the Global Economy after the Economic Downturn Spurs Growth in the Southern African Oil and Gas Market
The revival of the global economy, following the economic crisis in 2008 and 2009, has led to a rebound in the demand for minerals and natural resources from Southern Africa. This has stepped-up the demand for oil products within the region, driving growth in the Southern African downstream oil and gas market. Furthermore, the recovery of crude oil prices has resulted in intensified exploration initiatives in the region, particularly in Angola. “Growth in the upstream oil and gas market is expected to be driven by exploration initiatives within Angola,” says the analyst of this research. “Growth in the downstream market, however, will continue to be primarily driven by the growth in demand for oil products in South Africa.”
The Southern African countries with operational refinery capacity are Zambia, Angola and South Africa, with South Africa representing over 80 per cent of the total refining capacity of the region.
Inadequate infrastructure and inefficient regulatory processes are major restraints for the efficient and economical transportation of refined products to the market. Under developed and neglected road, rail and pipeline infrastructure leads to an unreliable supply of product to the market, increasing the retail cost of fuel and resulting in fuel shortages across countries. “Old and damaged infrastructure has restrained the ability to operate effective business practices within the country,” explains the analyst. “Under developed and neglected road networks increase the logistical costs of fuel transport, thereby increasing retail costs.”
International oil companies entering the Southern African region need to establish a secure and reliable product supply chain with sufficient storage capacity in proximity to the market. Furthermore, a clear understanding of government policy and regulations regarding import of oil products along with a strong relationship with governmental regulatory institutions is essential to ensure an uninterrupted supply of products to retail outlets.
