Vue d’ensemble du marché

Why Zambia imports the way it does.

Zambia's Copperbelt Province is one sur the most concentrated mining regions in Africa, with operations like KCM, Mopani, Kansanshi, Lumwana, and the new Mingomba project generating sustained demand for mining-class excavators in the 35-100 tonne range.

Being landlocked, Zambia imports route through three main corridors: (1) Dar es Salaam Tanzania → TAZARA rail or road (most common), (2) Lobito Angola → new corridor (growing fast), (3) Durban South Africa → road (longer but reliable). Choice depends on destination and timing.

For Copperbelt destinations specifically, Lobito Corridor has become the fastest route since 2023 — approximately 7 days from Lobito to Kitwe versus 10-14 days from Dar es Salaam. For Lusaka and southern Zambia, Dar es Salaam remains preferred.
