Mozambique, with a population of over 33 million people (2023), is one of Southern Africa’s rapidly emerging economies. Rich in natural resources—particularly gas, coal, and agriculture—Mozambique is undergoing infrastructure and industrial development that is steadily expanding its consumer market.

For companies targeting regional expansion, Mozambique offers growing opportunities across multiple sectors. Key imports include machinery, vehicles, construction materials, food products, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals—creating a broad landscape for suppliers and brands.

The key to success? Finding the right distributors & retail channels.

• Maputo, the capital and largest city, is the main gateway for international trade, located next to the country’s main port. It’s home to the largest importers, wholesalers, and modern retail chains.
• Beira and Nacala, both port cities, serve as critical trade corridors for goods destined to the central and northern regions.
• Nampula, a rapidly growing urban hub, is emerging as a significant economic center for distribution and retail.

Partnering with experienced distributors who understand Mozambique’s import regulations, customs procedures, and logistics landscape is vital for seamless market entry. Aligning with modern retail chains—such as supermarkets and hardware store groups—or specialty outlets (pharmacies, agro-inputs) helps ensure efficient product availability.
