It is important to note that the imports stood at 113.15 million kilograms in 2023, indicating a positive growth trajectory into the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring global economic conditions that may impact chemical production and thus, diols import demand.
Technological advancements in diol application areas potentially boosting consumption rates.
Environmental policies and regulations affecting chemical imports and production within the EU.
