The export of ethylene from Finland has experienced significant fluctuations over the last decade. Starting at 74.781 million kilograms in 2013, the volume saw an uptrend through 2014 to 98.935 million kilograms. However, a sharp decline is noticeable from 2017, with minimal recovery through 2018 to 2023 when the volume stood at 13.907 million kilograms. From 2024 onwards, the forecast shows a consistent decrease, reaching 2.4446 million kilograms by 2028.
Significant year-on-year changes were observed: a 271.1% increase in 2013, substantial 75.6% decline in 2017, 47.89% increase in 2019 followed by a 13.57% decrease in 2023. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2013 to 2017 first showed mixed but generally positive trends, turning negative through 2018 to 2023. The last 5-year CAGR for forecasted data indicates a troubling -26.56% decline per year on average.
Future trends to watch include the ongoing reduction in ethylene export volumes from Finland. Key factors influencing this decline might be changes in global demand, industry shifts, or alterations in local production capacities. Monitoring these variables will provide deeper insights and help strategize accordingly.
