The global import of broken or scutched flax fiber is significantly dominated by China, which accounts for a major share, showing a 2.6% growth in 2023. Belgium, India, Poland, and Lithuania follow, with more modest gains. Belarus and South Korea exhibit strong year-on-year growth, while significant declines are observed in the imports by the Netherlands, Russia, Japan, and other smaller importers.
Future trends to watch include:
- A continued increase in China's dominance in the market given its substantial growth rate.
- Potential recovery or decline stabilization in countries with negative growth like the Netherlands and Russia.
- Emerging markets such as South Korea and Kazakhstan might see accelerated growth.
- Impact of global economic factors on import levels and potential shifts in geographic sourcing of flax fiber.
