The import of sheet or film non-cellular and not reinforced of phenolic resins to Brazil has shown a steady decline from 2017 to 2021, with imports dwindling from 45.88 thousand kilograms to just 1.7 thousand kilograms. This represents a substantial cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) decline over these five years. By 2023, the import levels were negligible, reflecting a significant decrease in demand or possible substitution by alternative materials.

Future trends to watch for:

Assess the impact of new trade policies or tariffs that may influence import levels.
Monitor the adoption of new materials in industries traditionally using phenolic resins.
Keep an eye on technological advancements that could reinvigorate demand for phenolic resins.
Evaluate potential shifts in supply chain dynamics that could affect import volumes.
