Japan leads the global export of non-cellular cellulose acetate, despite a slight decline of 0.72% in 2023. South Korea and China exhibit positive growth with increases of 4.9% and 6.14% respectively. Notably, the United States saw a significant decline of 28.76%, while Canada experienced the highest growth at 31.49%. Other European countries such as Italy, Germany, and the UK showed decreases, suggesting a possible shift in production or market focus.
Future trends to watch include:
- A potential increase in exports from South Korea and China as they gain market share and modernize manufacturing processes.
- Continuing decline or stabilization in traditional markets such as the US and Europe, urging these regions to innovate for competitiveness.
- Emerging markets like Norway and Canada may see increased activity if growth continues at current rates.
