In 2023, Germany led the global import of azelaic and sebacic acid, followed by the United States and Japan. Notable year-on-year increases in imports were seen in Finland, Lithuania, and Kazakhstan, while Croatia and Egypt faced significant declines. Over the past five years, Poland, Israel, and Chile showed robust growth rates, indicating rising demand in these regions. Conversely, Malaysia and Greece struggled with declining import values, which could imply shifts in their local markets or alternative sourcing strategies.
Future trends to watch include the growing demand from emerging markets in Asia and Africa, driven by industrial expansion and increasing applications in personal care and plastics. Additionally, environmental regulations might influence the sourcing and distribution of these acids, impacting global trade patterns.
