In 2023, Germany led European imports of polymers of propylene or other olefins in primary forms (excluding polypropylene) with a significant share, though experienced a slight dip. Italy and Belgium showed strong positive growth, while Austria had the highest year-on-year increase.
Medium-term trends indicate a notable consistency in growth across Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, whereas Cyprus and Ireland saw declines.
Looking forward, European import landscapes may experience shifts due to environmental regulations and technological advancements in polymer applications, with sustainability and innovation likely driving future demand and distribution changes across countries.
