    Pre-Feasibility Study for SPC Floor and WPC Panel Production in

    Ethiopia
    Executive Summary

    This pre-feasibility study examines the potential for establishing a production facility for
    SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) panels in
    Ethiopia. The study considers various factors including market demand, raw material
    availability, production technology, and financial viability.

    Market Demand

    Ethiopia's construction industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by


    urbanization and government infrastructure projects. This creates a growing demand for
    building materials, including flooring and wall panels.

    According to industry reports, the global SPC flooring market is expected to reach USD
    25.7 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 14.2%. The WPC panel market is also
    expected to grow steadily, reaching USD 14.8 billion by 2028.

    Ethiopia is a relatively untapped market for both SPC flooring and WPC panels. The
    current demand is met through imports, which presents an opportunity for domestic
    production.

    Raw Material Availability

    Ethiopia has abundant resources of raw materials needed for SPC and WPC production,
    including:

     Stone powder: Ethiopia has several limestone deposits that can be used to produce
    stone powder.
    Limestone quarry in Ethiopia

     PVC resin: Ethiopia imports PVC resin, but there are plans to establish a local
    production facility in the near future.
     Wood flour: Ethiopia has a large wood processing industry, which generates a
    significant amount of wood waste that can be used as a raw material for WPC panels.

     Additives: Other additives such as stabilizers, plasticizers, and pigments are readily
    available in the Ethiopian market.
    Production Technology

    SPC and WPC production processes are relatively mature and well-established.
    Several manufacturers offer complete production lines that can be customized to
    specific needs.

    The production process involves mixing the raw materials, extruding the mixture into
    sheets, printing and embossing the desired pattern, and cutting the panels to size.
    Financial Viability

    The initial investment required to establish an SPC and WPC production facility in
    Ethiopia will vary depending on the size and capacity of the plant. However, it is
    estimated to be in the range of USD 1-10 million.

    The operating costs will include the cost of raw materials, labor, energy, and overhead.
    The profitability of the business will depend on the ability to sell the products at
    competitive prices.

    Market Risks

    There are several risks associated with establishing an SPC and WPC production
    facility in Ethiopia, including:

     Competition: The Ethiopian market is already flooded with imported SPC and WPC
    products.
     Economic instability: Ethiopia's economy is subject to fluctuations that could impact the
    construction industry.
     Infrastructure challenges: Ethiopia's infrastructure is still under development, which
    could pose logistical challenges.
     Foreign currency fluctuations: Ethiopia's currency is subject to fluctuations that could
    impact the cost of imported raw materials.
    Recommendations

    Despite the risks, there is a significant potential for establishing a successful SPC and
    WPC production facility in Ethiopia. The following recommendations are made:

     Conduct a detailed market research: This will help to identify the specific needs of the
    Ethiopian market and develop a targeted marketing strategy.
     Secure a reliable source of raw materials: This will ensure the long-term viability of the
    business.
     Invest in efficient production technology: This will help to reduce production costs and
    improve profitability.
     Develop a strong marketing and distribution network: This will be essential for reaching
    target customers and building brand awareness.
     Obtain government support: The Ethiopian government is supportive of industries that
    contribute to economic growth and create jobs.
     Mitigate risks: Develop strategies to mitigate the potential risks identified in this study.
