East & Southern Africa Container Trades (2019)
Dynamar has just completed another well researched report on the worldwide container trades connecting with Africa. Building upon earlier editions published biennially since 2011, we present:
East & Southern Africa Container Trades (2019)
This is a trade with contrasts, incorporating, as it does, Southern Africa, East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. South Africa has struggled but 2017 suggested a return to growth. This should be the start of a trend extending for the next four to five years at least. Even better, whilst South(ern) Africa has been experiencing difficulties, for the most part, the Indian Ocean Islands and East Africa, especially, have been posting healthy (GDP) growth figures.
The result of all these developments is a slow but steady change in the economic balance of power away from Southern Africa towards East Africa. Same has even filtered down to container carryings with East Africa/Indian Ocean Islands seeing 28% of the total in 2013, rising to 37% in 2017. Going forward, trade lane volumes are set to continue growing at a compound annual rate of 5% from 2017 to 2022.
Read all these and many other developments in the 2019 edition of the East & Southern Africa Container Trades. Topics covered include:
- Five deepsea trades lanes: carriers, trade patterns and TEU carryings
