The import of suture materials, sterile surgical, and dental goods to Angola has experienced significant fluctuations since 2013. After peaking in 2014, the volumes saw a sharp decline in 2015 and 2016, rebounding notably in 2017 but fluctuating modestly thereafter. As of 2023, the volume stood at 64.39 thousand kilograms. Over the last two years, the import volume slightly increased by 0.26% year-on-year and is expected to maintain a minimal average annual growth rate of 0.13% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for involve Angola's economic stability and healthcare infrastructure development. Potential shifts in global trade policies and advancements in medical technology could also influence import volumes.
