Earlier Report Observations

Imports of slaked lime into Albania showed considerable variation from 2018 to 2024. Shipments began at 1.3 thousand tons in 2018, rose sharply to 5.6 thousand tons in 2019, and remained above 6 thousand tons through 2020 and 2021. A complete halt in imports occurred in 2022, followed by a strong recovery to 7.8 thousand tons in 2023 and a further increase to 8.7 thousand tons in 2024.

The available market size data, starting in 2022, reveals significant shifts in supply. In 2022, with imports absent, the entire market volume of 12.6 thousand tons was supplied by domestic production. The market surged to 20.6 thousand tons in 2023, driven by the return of substantial imports and stable local output. By 2024, the market volume moderated to 18.1 thousand tons, yet its value continued to climb, reaching 2.3 million USD, indicating changes in price or product mix.

Over the final three years, the Albanian market for slaked lime became increasingly reliant on imported material, while domestic production levels experienced some fluctuation.
