In 2023, Italy held the largest share of European adipic acid imports, followed by Germany, Netherlands, and Spain. Most countries saw modest growth; however, the Netherlands and Belgium recorded significant declines, and Slovakia experienced the steepest fall. Notably, Luxembourg and Lithuania recorded strong growth. Sweden and Finland also experienced marked increases, reflecting positive trends in Northern Europe. Over a five-year horizon, overall import trends showed steady growth, with Poland and Greece leading in positive annual growth rates.
Looking ahead, Europe's import patterns for adipic acid may be influenced by changing industrial demand due to sustainability drives, potential regulatory changes, and shifts in manufacturing bases. Monitoring these dynamics will be crucial for assessing import strategies and market opportunities. Potential market adjustments and investments in sustainable materials could affect these trends, particularly influencing the import shares among European countries.
