Manufacturing remains at the heart of Zambia’s industrialisation, economic diversification and sustainable growth agenda. As the sector evolves, businesses are navigating an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape where compliance, governance, operational resilience and commercial decision-making are more interconnected than ever.

We are pleased to release the latest edition of Zambia’s Economic Sector Insights, focused on the Manufacturing Sector.

This edition is led by Jackie Jhala, Partner and Head of the Manufacturing Sector and Corporate Advisory Department, with support from the Manufacturing Sector team members: Senior Associate Coleen Namuyamba and Associates Christine Mwambazi, Kawana Kawana, Dalitso Ng’ona and Judith Mukololo.

In this issue, our Manufacturing Sector team explores key developments shaping the industry, including data protection, beneficial ownership transparency and sector-specific licensing requirements, while examining their practical implications for businesses operating across Zambia’s manufacturing value chains.

At Corpus Legal Practitioners, we believe that effective legal advice must be grounded in a deep understanding of the industries our clients operate in. Through this publication, we aim to provide commercially relevant insights that support informed decision-making and contribute to meaningful dialogue on the opportunities and challenges facing the sector.

We invite you to read this edition and share your thoughts.
