The forecast data for the import of diols, excluding ethylene and propylene glycol to South Korea, shows a consistent upward trend from 2024 to 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are as follows: from 2024 to 2025, there is a 4.10% increase, from 2025 to 2026, a 3.87% increase, from 2026 to 2027, a 3.66% increase, and from 2027 to 2028, a 3.45% increase. This pattern suggests a gradually slowing growth rate but maintains a positive trend over the forecast period.
Looking ahead, factors such as advancements in industrial processes, increased demand for eco-friendly and sustainable materials, and developments in the chemical industry in South Korea and globally could influence these trends. Additionally, trade policies and economic conditions will play a crucial role in shaping the future import volumes of these diols.
