The 2023 data shows Belgium as the largest importer of benzene in Europe, followed closely by the Netherlands and Spain. Interestingly, Spain experienced a significant year-on-year increase of 10.76% from 2023, while other major importers like Germany saw a decline. Smaller markets like Greece and Slovenia reflected dramatic percentage increases, albeit from a very low base. A consistent upward trend is evident in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, suggesting a growing demand in these markets over the past year.
Future trends to watch for include the potential for sustained growth in countries like Spain and Greece, which have shown significant upticks. Furthermore, the robust increases in smaller markets like Slovenia and Sweden present opportunities for expansion. Conversely, countries with declining trends such as Finland and Poland may need to assess their import strategies.
