In 2023, Germany led the European import share of acrylic polymers in primary forms at 16.29%, followed by Italy (11.5%), and Poland (10.48%). Countries such as Belgium saw significant increases, with a 5.78% rise, while others like Austria and Finland saw declines. Over the last two years, countries like Greece, Portugal, and Bulgaria experienced notable growth in their import shares, partly due to increased demand or competitive pricing. Meanwhile, countries like Luxembourg and Hungary experienced minor reductions.
Future trends to watch include further increases in demand from Eastern European countries, driven by growing industrial production, and potential impacts from environmental regulations on polymer usage, possibly affecting import patterns across Europe.
