Import of diols, except ethylene and propylene glycol, to Japan is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 121.99 million USD to 128.62 million USD. As of 2023, the actual value for imports stood lower than 121.99 million USD, the starting point for the forecasts, indicating a positive growth trajectory. The projected year-on-year growth rates reveal modest increases between 2024 and 2028, underlying a consistent demand.

Future trends to observe include:

Potential increases in domestic production capacities affecting import reliance.
Emergent technologies or regulatory changes in Japan’s chemical industry.
Evolving global trade policies impacting import costs and availability.
