In 2023, Italy led European imports of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers in primary forms, totaling 28.149 million kilograms, followed by Germany and France. Significant year-on-year growth was observed in France (8.11%) and Lithuania (13.79%), while the United Kingdom (-15.77%) and Slovenia (-16.76%) experienced notable declines. Over the last five years, variations have been mixed, with some countries like Cyprus showing strong recent growth and others like Greece and Ireland facing declines.
Future trends to watch include the potential for recovery in declining markets and further growth in emerging markets. Environmental regulations and technological advancements in polymer production may also impact import structures positively or negatively, depending on the region's adaptability to such changes.
