Zambia’s Transport Sector Signals Strong Growth
The country’s transport sector has shown unwavering support base which has continued with positive gains and traction, further signals corridor investment potentially standing out.
Zambia’s transport sector in half of 2025 has demonstrated some notable growth, with trade volumes increasing far by 22 percent in the first half of the year.
Road transport continues to dominate, underpinned by over US$1.5 billion in public-private partnership (PPP) projects, including the ongoing Lusaka–Ndola dual carriageway.
Meanwhile, regional initiatives such as the Lobito and TAZARA corridors are further positioning Zambia as a strategic key land-linked investment hub for Southern and Central Africa.
However, challenges remain, particularly the country’s heavy reliance on road networks and the underutilization of rail and air transport, highlighting opportunities for diversified investment and infrastructure development.
