Earlier Report Observations

The market for veneer sheets in Mauritania declined from 4.1 million m³ in 2018 to 3.4 million m³ in 2023, following a volatile trajectory. After a drop to 3.6 million m³ in 2019, consumption saw a modest recovery in 2020 before surging by one-third to 4.9 million m³ in 2021. This peak was short-lived, with the market falling back to 3.7 million m³ in 2022 and contracting further to 3.4 million m³ in 2023.

In December 2024, Mauritania adopted Law No. 2024-045 on local content in the extractive and energy sectors, aiming to strengthen domestic industrial integration through targeted training and innovation programs. While the legislation directly addresses mining and energy, it signals a broader policy shift toward increasing local participation in industrial supply chains, which could influence demand for domestically sourced materials in the long term.
