In 2023, Poland topped the list of available paraffin waxes for final consumption in Europe, followed by Germany and Italy. While Italy and the Czech Republic showed significant upward trends with 15.91% and 10.89% yearly growth respectively, the Netherlands and Germany experienced declines of 9.92% and 4.06%. Even smaller countries like Lithuania saw substantial increases (11.89%). Other notable shifts included a 32.96% drop in Ireland and steady growth in Portugal and Slovakia.
Looking ahead, factors such as energy transition policies and shifts in manufacturing activities will likely influence paraffin wax availability. Countries showing consistent growth, such as Italy and the Czech Republic, may continue their upward trend, potentially increasing their market share. Continued fluctuations in countries such as Ireland and Iceland should be watched for future patterns.
